I'm interested in getting X and Y data for use as a pointer, but not actually setting the position of the actual system mouse cursor. (I'm using multiple wiimotes for a multi-user drawing program).

setting the mouse seems to be a capability of wiiremoteJ but I can't figure out how to use the script to access the X and Y position data without setting it.

apologies if this is obvious or easy to do - if someone could point me in the right direction I would be hugely appreciative. maybe there is a good script for converting the IR data out there (taking into account the roll of the wiimote).

thanks so much!

Well, you have to do the calculations manually. But you can get raw position data (a value from 0 to 1 indicating where the dot was seen) by using the IREvent class and a WiiRemoteListener. For more details, check out the API docs.

ah I see.

the reason I was asking was that I saw the wiiremotej.WiiRemoteMouse and wiiremotej.IRMouse interfaces,
specifically the IRMouse.processMouseEvent and thought that they were doing those calculations internally: now I see it just takes an average of each of the four light points and computes a center point from that...

thanks for the clarification. might be a nice addition to add in a future version of wiiremotej
