Hi there,
just tried my brand new Wiimote (don't even have a Wii lol) with candles, works fine. I ran the Wiimote testing script that came with Glovepie, changed a bit here and there, and I noticed that I could move my mouse cursor with just one light (in my case = candle). Why should I use 2 (I don't plan to use a 2nd Wiimote)? |

| roll compensation. if you don't hold the wii remote with the buttons facing perfectly upward, you would otherwise have imperfections on mouse movement (move left and mouse goes up, for example) |

one could use the accelerometer data to do the compensation of a single dot, but what wouldn't be as precise as the optical input

| Two dots can be helpful for determining distance from the screen also, should you want to measure it. |
