I've just managed to find this quite new library for C# and VB and I'm thinking that, if VB plugins can be made for DBPro, then maybe this library could be made to work with it also:

Download the Wiimote library here:

There is example implementation code for C# and VB in the download.

It's seems quite unstable at the moment (it works - picks up and sends data to the remote - but the test program seems to crash a lot). Considering the number of different Bluetooth devices there are knocking around out there, I'm not surprised.

List of devices that may work:
http://www.wiibrew.org/index.php?title=List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices

Can anyone with a bit more knowledge than me have a look at this quickly and give an opinion about whether it might work with DBPro? And if so, how difficult it might be to do it?

Lastly, has anyone made a test DBPro plugin in C# and got it to work?

I was just discussing this today with a few of my fellow programmers. A wiimote plugin would rock for DBpro, especially if it actually worked well. I'm sure it's possible, but who would make it?

As far as i know he only got it to turn on the lights and vibrate i think, he stopped developing it though,he may be kind enough to give you the source to see how he did it.

I personally would love a plugin for DBPro to get the wiimote to work for it. Since people only need to buy a wiimote, a bluetooth dongle and bluesoleil(which i got free with my dongle).

Its annoying though to get the wiimote to work through C because you need to connect it to bluesoleil before running an application.
