After a few hours of browsing and trying to diagnose my own problem, I've decided to create my own thread in hopes that someone can solve this problem for me and for everyone else who is describing similar symptoms...

I am running an Apple Macbook with Windows installed, and this may or may not be an issue specific to Macbooks.

I'm using the built in Apple bluetooth and the Apple BT drivers.

My wiimote pairs just fine with the Macbook, my problem is in GlovePie.

Upon running the test script I am able to make the Wiimote rumble and can change which LEDs are on through changing the script itself, but it seems as if the Macbook is not receiving any data back from the Wiimote. Moving the Wiimote and pressing buttons changes nothing in the Debug window, instead all I get is a constant
Bat=255.00; Pitch=0.00 Roll=0.00; 0.00 m/s/s, 0.00 m/s/s, 0.00 m/s/s

I have read of other users having some success with the Widcomm drivers (version 4.0.1.700) but when I tried this I couldn't find the crack they were speaking of and when I tried it without My Bluetooth Places didn't recognize any bluetooth devices connected.

If anyone has any experience with this type of situation, please share your solutions here. Thanks.

Did you try the Bluetooth Fix menu?

Ah yes I should have mentioned... the only way I was able to get the Wiimote to rumble and the LEDs to display was to activate the bluetooth fix. Without it enabled there was 0 functionality.

@Carl Kenner: what exactly does the bluetooth fix? Because I think I have the same problem to fix in my implementation. It works with BlueSoleil but not with the Toshiba BT Stack. Only GlovePIE works with both, any other applications (WiiRemote etc.) also fail using the Toshiba BT stack.

I'v had the same experience on pc with window XP. I tried on two different pc's and exactly the same thing happens. In both cases I started with BlueSoleil drivers and I actually recieved movement data from the Wiimote into GlovePIE. But then after a while it stopped working. Now only leds, rumble ... and battery level (!) works.

I tried uninstalling Bluesoleil and using MS BT-stack. Situation is the same except with Bluesoleil, the BT Fix must be OFF for leds and rumle to work, with MS-stack, it must be ON.

My laptop started beeping a one point, so I turned on the "No Auto-bluetooth connect"-option. According to GlovePIE-documentation, the auto-connection can stop the Wiimote from working and cause the computer to beep. It didn't start working again, though.

I don't own a Wii console. The BT-device is a cheap one bought locally. The brand is "HAMA"....german, I think...

I got WiinRemote to work just now, with the BlueSoleil-drivers. But still the same with GlovePIE...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My problems and woes with the BlueSoleil stack has more or less vanished now that I use 2 Wiimotes with my system. I don't really understand why that is.

But a temporary fix I used before was to reinstall BlueSoleil and its' drivers whenever no data was recieved from the Wiimote.
