fWiine on Mac OSX?

A new release of the wiiuse library that allows fWiine to communicate with wiimotes has just been published. This release adds the Mac OSX support. The source code is availlable for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fwiine/files/wiiuse/0.13/wiiuse_v0.13_src.zip/download. You will find into the archive what is needed to compile the library with Xcode and some instructions in the README file.

For the time being, this version has not been tested with fWiine yet. We are looking for volunteers to check the fWiine ability to run on the Mac. Thanks in advance for your feedbacks!

Vous pouvez télécharger le code source à l'adresse : http://sourceforge.net/projects/fwiine/files/wiiuse/0.13/wiiuse_v0.13_src.zip/download. Vous trouverez dans l'archive ce qu'il faut pour compiler la bibliothèque avec Xcode ainsi que des instructions dans le fichier README.

Pour l'instant, cette version n'a pas encore été testée avec l'application fWiine. Nous cherchons des volontaires pour vérifier l'aptitude de fWiine à s'exécuter sur Mac. Merci d'avance pour vos retours !

Wiimote news - March 2011

[english version]

Once again, this post will provide you a lot of new references about Wiimote-based works. Thanks to all authors for sharing their ideas and their knowledges. Thanks to all past and future contributors for increasing the amount of hacks with this famous peripheral. Once again, the wii remote remains one of the preferred devices for teaching and experimenting in various domains as gesture recognition, motion tracking, IMU applications, cognitive studies, etc.
