I cannot get this to work...

I have downloaded both the vrj4p5, and the loc, and put them in the processing/libraries folder. I loaded the code from one of the examples and play, then this error occures:

ou need to dodify your classpath, sourcepath, bootclasspath, and/or extdirs setup. Jikes could not find package "lll.wrj4P5" In the code folder or in any libraries.

I have tried moving them around to the code folder and back to the libraries folder and tried keeping the lll folder, tried putting them both in that folder, tried loosing that folder and putting them directly... Nothing works!?

Any suggestions?

No, cant see that intry. I have tried looking at the link you sent me...

Still no luck. But I am wondering do I need more that the Wrj4P5 and the Loc lib?

The link mentions this:

- wrj4P5
- Library
- avetanabluetooth.jar
- wiiremotej.jar
- wrj4P5.jar
= Loc.jar

What exactly is the avetanabluetooth.jar, and the wiiremotej.jar? I have not come across them until now...

Thanks for your response!

Oh Sorry!

I did not know. No my problem is placing the libraries in the right order, in order for it to work. I have tried different ways to place the in the libraries folder, but I keep getting this:

ou need to dodify your classpath, sourcepath, bootclasspath, and/or extdirs setup. Jikes could not find package "lll.wrj4P5" In the code folder or in any libraries.

this is my first java development without Processing.
the thing i can only show you is my environment.
MacOSX+eclipse
project test: buildpath "core.jar","lll/lll (Class Folder)","JRE System Library"
project lll : buildpath "core.jar","WiiRemoteJ.jar","avatanabluetooth.jar","JRE Sys"
package lll.Loc
package lll.wrj4P5

is above answer for you?

... or problem at Processing installing? sorry

I also found all of this a little confusing... In the end got it working by placing a copy of the wrj4P5 folder in both (which doesn't seem right : )

processing\libraries

and ALSO in:

processing\libraries\lll\

Then had to do a bit of fiddling before it picked up my Wiimote - had to reconnect it to the Bluetooth whilst the processing file was searching for a wiimote.

Still really glad to be able to start experimenting so thanks Classiclll!!!

Where is the what if the what is in why?

Classiclll Full Member Offline Posts: 187	Re: wrj4P5, WiiRemote P5 Library - Alpha Reply #11 - Sep 24^th, 2007, 4:25pm i think i understand your point. both WinXP and MacOSX, the following cases do well. 1 libraries\wrj4p5\(jars) 2 libralies\lll\wrj4p5\(jars) this may be my misunderstand of the java environment. but there is no need to put (jars) in both 1 ans 2. is this a difference between yours and mine?

Just tested this again and it looks like you're right. I removed the instance under processing\libraries\ and it still works fine, so perhaps it was something else I did that got it working for me.

----------------------------------------------------

A couple of useful tips for others trying this out:

1. When I first connect the Wiimote up to Bluetooth it remains in discovery mode. When I then try and connect to the Processing application with 1 & 2 nothing happens. I've found that first pressing the Wiimote power button to 'switch it off' and then hitting 1 & 2 to enter discovery mode gets around this problem. Subsequent attempts to connect should work fine with just 1 & 2 as long as you do the following:

2. Make sure you 'switch off' your Wiimote before closing your Processing application so that you see the "Remote disconnected" message in the output window. In my case if I fail to do this it buggers something up with the Bluetooth stack which seems to require a system restart to fix Sad

By following these two steps I'm finding this fairly reliable and can now definitely get on with some experimenting

Thanks again!

thank you for your tips, blindfish.
my main pc is mac, so insufficient trial is made on win pc. (and nothing is done on linux.)
your information is a worthwhile one.

by the way, this topic is for WiiRemoteJ's usage other than a processing one.
i propose this information exchanging continue in the wiili.org forum.
http://www.wiili.org/forum/wiiremotej-f68.html
the finalized tips will be mentioned here.

is this ok?
(wiili needs an account like here)
