An interactive whiteboard for under £50 using a Wiimote Part 4

In the previous entries to my blog I have explained the following

1. The Wiimote interactive project

2. The paring of the Wiimote to the Bluetooth on my PC

3. How to make the Infra red pen

In this final installment I have made a short video to demonstrate how to set up the interactive whiteboard with a laptop and an LCD projector

Apologies for the poor video quality. I used Camtasia Studio to create the video and then produced it as a Windows Media file. I also produced a Quicktime file which was better quality, but the file size was 2.5 times larger, so I have stayed with the wmv file

Please feel free to contact me if you are keen to have a go yourself

Many thanks to Johnny Chung Lee for creating the software that lets you use the Wiimote like this

In the Wiimote part 2 I explained how I had got the Wiimote to pair up with the Bluetooth on the PC to the extent that I could run the interactive whiteboard software.

Last weekend I made an Infra Red Pen.

Here is a video to explain how to do it yourself.

Apologies for the poor quality of the still pictures, I will make an improved one later on

Knowledge is for sharing
