Wiimote interactive whiteboard success
// May 16th, 2008 // 1 Comment » // Hardware
Since I am home this week, I decided to get caught up on some projects. The big one was working on getting an interactive whiteboard setup going with a Nintendo Wiimote and an infrared pen. This morning, I finally got my infrared pen working. What I did was bought a cheap LED flashlight from Walmart and replaced one of the LEDs with an infrared LED, the Radio Shack 276-143 to be exact.
After checking that the pen worked, I downloaded the Wiimote interactive whiteboard software and it worked! I’ll try to get some pictures and a video up, but I don’t know if I’ll have time today.
Next goal is to find some whiteboard software to use with it. For right now I’m just using Inkscape.
