USING THE IR AND WIIMOTE OSCULATOR PATCH

Also when the wheel gets really fast, the pulses just stop! why? – its like the wii-mote is overloaded or something? – I have it running so it tracks speed when the bicycle is upside down, as long as you don’t crank it too fast. there are some issues with this – for example when the wheel is stopped the signal rate revs up to over 300 – I think because it rotates backwards for a second. Use the up to date car engine patch, etc., etc., So basically this setup needs to get standardized – use metro to send a steady stream of wheel data. Also, select 3rd preset for engine sound. Need to be running Osculator and tracking PRY stuff from wii – need to adjust scale in engine patch. The speed of the wheel is translated to the speed of the engine sound. Triggers engine simulation by using wiimote taped to spokes of a bicycle wheel. make sure osculator/wiimote is connected and sending raw IR data.

Add a little duct tape, and that servo isn’t moving for at least an hour.Current example projects for the Interactive Media Arts course at Gould Academy. Moving on, I attached the Wiimote on a homemade stand that was fixed onto a continuous-rotation servo motor (servo without feedback). Once you have this done, all you need to do is plug a cord into the Wiimote peripheral port to use anything on its I2C bus.

Instead of removing the cam, I only made 1 small modification, which was drilling a very tiny hole near the camera and soldering a connection to it’s “Clock” pin (which needs to be a 24MHz sine wave to replace the internal oscillator). However, at 40$ a pop that seemed like a waste of a perfectly good Wiimote. I’ve only seen hacks with the Wiimote cam where the camera is desoldered/removed from the Wiimote. Recently I’ve been playing with the IR Camera (It’s really just a light sensing camera with an IR Filter).This particular camera is a standalone module that outputs coordinates of the 4 brightest “images”, all via I2C communication. When I look at it, I think about all the useful sensors/gadgets that this little 40$ package (new) comes with. Everybody is familiar with the infamous Wiimote.
