Would it be possible to add multiple Wii Remote support to wminput? I have a small script that fires up wminput -d and mythfrontend at the same time, but I would like be able to connect a second, third, and even fourth Wii Remote for when we play games in mythfrontend (mythgame). </p> <p> Thanks, spiderworm </p> Topic nickishappy Fri, 30 May 2008 03:58:34 GMT Reply #24393 to topic #51 - connect many wii remotes to daemon http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/24393#message24393 http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/24393#message24393 <p> This isn't the problem. I can have 3 mice plugged in and (when it works) 2 wiimotes connected and it works. It's something specifically with cwiid and/or bluez. </p> Message nickishappy Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:44:23 GMT Reply #24369 to topic #51 - connect many wii remotes to daemon http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/24369#message24369 http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/24369#message24369 <p> I just tried playing around with this a little. I can connect 2 wiimotes at one time with a bluetooth 1.2 dongle, but not a bluetooth 2.0 dongle. To get more than one wiimote to connect, I have to run wminput, connect the first wiimote, then run wminput and connect the other wiimote. running both wminput instances at one time doesn't work. connecting the second wiimote takes a few tries usually. This doesn't work while running wminput with the -d switch. </p> <p> In other words, it's picky, finicky, and only works occasionally with certain bluetooth dongles at the moment. </p> Message dsmith Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:28:51 GMT Reply #253 to topic #51 - connect many wii remotes to daemon http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/253#message253 http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/253#message253 <p> Ah..sounds like Linux won't let multiple devices fight over the cursor. You may take a look at using different axes (and different configs), or see if there's some other way to separate the axes. </p> Message spiderworm Mon, 24 Sep 2007 21:01:29 GMT Reply #252 to topic #51 - connect many wii remotes to daemon http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/252#message252 http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/252#message252 <p> dsmith, </p> <p> When I try running multiple concurrent instances, one of them works, connecting one wii remote, and the other fails out with errors, for example: </p> <p> spiderworm@computer: (wminput -w -c mythtv) &amp; (wminput -w -c mythtv) </p> <p> <a class="missing changeset" title="No changeset 1 in the repository">[1]</a> 29730 </p> <p> Warning: duplicate absolute axis assignment </p> <p> Warning: duplicate absolute axis assignment </p> <p> Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)... </p> <p> Warning: duplicate absolute axis assignment </p> <p> Warning: duplicate absolute axis assignment </p> <p> Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)... </p> <p> Bluetooth device inquiry error </p> <p> error finding wiimote </p> <p> Ready. </p> Message dsmith Mon, 24 Sep 2007 20:38:04 GMT Reply #251 to topic #51 - connect many wii remotes to daemon http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/251#message251 http://abstrakraft.org/cwiid/discussion/message/251#message251 <p> I'd like to get there eventually, but that would take more time than I can spare right now. Have you tried running multiple concurrent instances of wminput? </p> Message
