Syncing the wiimotes

Okay, so my first main task is to implement headtracking.

For those who dont know, Head-Tracking uses two IR sources and a wiimote.
The wiimote tells the computer the location of the IR points and changes the
view perspective on screen.

I will get into the code side later but first to set up the bluetooth connection with my laptop...

Although I hear great things about bluesoleil, due
to complications with vista, I went back to a standard Toshiba Stack.

After installing the stack it was really quite simple to connect the wiimote

Essentially I opened the battery case, pressed the red sync button on the controller and hit the
search for devices button on my laptop. It found and registered in less than 30 seconds...





All connection and syncing went almost to smoothly for vista...but hey it works
