I just got my wii Monday and I was seeing how the aiming worked and found that, my bar at least, is the center of the aiming. i.e if I want to point to the top half of my TV I have to aim the controller over the sensor bar. So I guess when I build mine I am going to make two separate clusters that will attach to the center of each side of my monitor/tv. Maybe like this ...
| Code: |
__________

| |
0| |0
| |
|________|
0 = LED //|\ |
Also I was thinking of powering it off the 12V line from my power supply, just because I have some extra molex connectors and wire, and it will allow me to use as many LEDs as possible  |
depending on the size of your monitor the leds might be too far apart
oh, and even thought the wiki article I made on how to make a sb didn't mention resistors, it is advisable to use them to avoid burning your leds

|
|
There are lots of replica bars on ebay, my question is would it be possible to take the adapter off and replace it with either USB or a Serial Connector?what about a USB lead that has 2 connectors for providing extra power? Though serial is the most interesting to me, as i have a serial port on the computer i will be using thats never going to be used for anything, would it be technically possible? and what would i need to do? not asking for mych i know  |

Hi guys, I just made a USB sensor bar using 6 IR LEDs. I have the circuit up on my blog, which I'll post very soon as soon as I'm considered a legit user.  |

if you do it first in a program with fixed width text, and when posting you put it between code tags, it shudl be easier to have it all look as intended
