to add to the above:

press 1+2 together so wiimote is flashing and i run the code and still saying:

BlueCove version 2.1.0 on bluesoleil
trying to find a wii

i feel like i am so close...

i uninstalled bluesoleil and installed latest widcomm drivers. when i run the code i get:

BlueCove version 2.1.0 on winsock
trying to find a wii

i was reading on the link you gave me that

"If multiple stacks are detected they are selected in following order: "winsock", "widcomm", "bluesoleil". Since BlueCove v2.0.1 "bluecove.stack.first" will alter the order of stack selection. "

How do i make it so that widcomm is select first?

thanks again, you have been so helpful

Hello classic!
How is it going I finally finished the research paper. The sketch that works with the wii didn't turn out like I wanted to... I finally did it only with accelerometers and not with the IRleds, because as you said it has a strong limitation of usage. But there's something that still do not like me too much and I don't know if there's a sollution.

When you rotate the WiiRemote it results like both a rotation and a movement in the X axis, and if the object follows these values it moves horizontally when in fact it should only rotate.

Also I have problems with the object when is controlled by the WiiRemote. In the impacts beetwen objects these objects actually cross each other.

However, I don't want to bother you about the small problems I'm still having but simply to thank you for your support. I have aknowledge you in my research paper. You can read it but you won't probably understand much, because it's in Catalan... : http://www.scribd.com/doc/25017231/Disseny-i-implementacio-d-un-sistema-interact...

And also I have added the sketch that works with the keyboard and mouse, see if you like it. You will probably understand why I wanted to use the WiiRemote: http://www.openprocessing.org/visuals/?visualID=6761

So thanks again for your support.

Dear All,

I've got following setup:
- Belkin F8T012 bluetooth dongle
- Ubuntu 9.10
- AvetanaBluetooth lib compiled from sourceforge.net/projects/avetanabt/files/ (avetanabt-20070719.tgz)
- WiiRemote v1.6 , world-of-cha0s.hostrocket.com/WiiRemoteJ/
- Wrj4P5, Loc and l4P5 , sourceforge.jp/projects/wrj4p5/releases/
- BlueZ, libbluetooth3, libbluetooth-dev, bluetooth 4.51-0ubuntu2

I first confirmed that the hardware works fine by running WmGUI successfully ( allmyapps.com/app/ubuntu-9.04/wmgui ).

I then downloaded MyFirstWii example from geocities.jp/classiclll_newweb/ , put all the necessary libraries and tried to run it.

After pressing the run button, in the console I see

  avetanaBluetooth version 1.3.17
  trying to find a wii

,and the bluetooth dongle blinks. I press 1+2 buttons on a wii remote, and after few seconds the program holds with the following error message

Code:

Exception in thread "Thread-4" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: de.avetana.bluetooth.stack.BlueZ.cancelInquiry()V
	at de.avetana.bluetooth.stack.BlueZ.cancelInquiry(Native Method)

	at edu.oswego.cs.dl.util.concurrent.PooledExecutor$Worker.run(PooledExecutor.java:743)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
 

Any ideas what might be wrong ?

Those are the things I tried:
- use free evaluation of avetanaBluetooth.jar
- use BlueZ libraries (including renaming them to avetanaBluetooth.jar)
- use WiiRemote 1.5 / 1.6 / beta

Thanks,
