Hey ppl,

Well, the bluetooth stick i had died so with the one i got I'm stuck with the ms stack for now so heres a quick attempt at getting the wii remotes to auto connect to the pc, try it and see!

It needs Windows XP sp2 (thats all ive tested it on) and the Microsoft bluetooth stack + .net 2.0.

http://localhostr.com/files/1adbcd/AutoConnect.zip

The source code is included as well so you can mess around with it and automate it better. you might need the bluetooth lib at http://inthehand.com/files/ (v2.0.60828) if it doesnt work with the libs in the folder. It you want to do it autoconnect without .net it can be done in c/c++ using the windows bluetooth api.

p.s. anyone know any good places to upload files?

I'm not sure, i couldnt find a way to get it a wii remote to show up in device manager using the widdcomm api.

But it does give you the ability to search and connect to a wii remote/s using l2cap connections, but it doesnt show up in device manager so is only available to the programs that used the api (if you know what i mean).
So if you wanted to autoconnect any remote to glovepie you would need to add support for widdcomm stack in glovepie.

Hi TDM

I'm trying to do the same thing. I can connect the device initially by calling

WiiMoteDevice.SetServiceState(ServiceName, True)

And Windows installs the device. I then disconnect the device with

WiiMoteDevice.SetServiceState(ServiceName, False)


From here I can't get it to connect again without removing the device.

Hopefully you can help. I'd like to download the source code you uploaded but it's not available.

Thanks!

Hey ive uploaded it again:

Yeh gettting it to connect again was a real pain, so the only way that worked was to remove the device (in software)

This is the bit you need to do

BluetoothSecurity.RemoveDevice(DeviceAddress)

After that WiiMoteDevice.SetServiceState(ServiceName, True) should work

i got a Broadcom 2045 usb bluetooth dongle, since widcomm cant autoconnect, i tricked windows stack so im now using the windows stack on my Broadcom 2045 device. And it works perfect with your application, thanks alot!!

To do this I modified the file c:\windows\inf\bth.inf

To this :

[Broadcom.NT.5.1]
Blutonium BCM2045 Bluetooth 2.4 GHz Single Chip Transceiver= BthUsb, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_200A
Broadcom 2045 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Device= BthUsb, USB\VID_0A5C&PID_2101

You get the hardware VID and PID from devicemanager if you righclick your device using the broadcom drivers. After this is done, disable the device.

Now you MUST delete/move the broadcom drivers away from windows plugnplay inspection. I did a search in c:\windows and moved all files named btw*.* to c:\temp. Press ctrl alt del and get the task manager up, close all bluetooth software running, that is bt_server, bttray etc..and move c:\program\widcomm directory to c:\temp.

Right click the device in device manager and make a driverupdate.
choose from list and select microsoft version instead of broadcom.

NOTE! you cannot do this from a new install, only driverupdate from broadcom to microsoft! It seems like the broadcom drivers enables the device first.

Thanks alot for this autoconnect tool, I really HATE to manually connect every time.
