thanks someone, i've always known the gyro would eventually work,
but i didn't want to pressure people who are doing this as a hobby/for fun/for free.
my video is still wired, so i'll keep my existing setup for now.
thanks!

excellent work once again, still no gyro however... though i'm not sure how many people outside of myself who would use it (my project is bring presented tommorow.. using glovepie and wires) data reports very smoothly DarthGameR: what is the 'Z Rotation' axis supposed to do? i guess you are refering...

the gryo is what makes the difference between the sixaxis and the wiimote, too bad the gyro isnt being used in the wireless driver yet, do you think it could be soon? would it be possible to controll the mouse's x axis (left/right) with the gyro of the sixaxis controller? with glovepie, (after calib...

excellent work 89ron, the roll and pitch data are much smoother than before. i hope the gyro can be working soon. for 64bit OS users, i'm 99% sure this only works on 32 bit systems. a lot of people are having other driver issues with 64 bit, if not all the main stream stuff is working yet, how can y...

you need to have ppjoy installed so any other programs can see the data from the sixaxis.

you can get it here

it seems that the gyro defualt value will always be different depending on the controller. regardless, the value you want is the amount of change compared to the previous value. (delta) this would result in a positive or negative number, which would represent a clockwise/counter-clockwise motion, th...

ok, i double checked the software (btsix) and it seems more correct than the default ppjoy output roll is roll (x axis) (left/right accelerometer) pitch is pitch (y axis) (forward/backward accelerometer but z axis is labed with gyro.. this isn't the case. it is the z axis accelerometer though, so th...

ah ok, i needed to put ppjoy to its default settings and it works! but some things you (and everyone else) should be made aware of. joystick1.roll -- reads ppjoy z rotation and covers a 360degree rolling motion (ie tilting the controller left - upsidedown - right) joystick1.pitch -- reads ppjoy x ro...

aweome!! but only the buttons and joystick info is showing up and debug = joystick.Name shows that it is simply reading the data from ppjoy. (joystick1 doesn't work for me... joystick.count results in 1) i had tried debug = ppjoy.digital1 etc with no luck, i forgot about the joystick command though....

when you download glovepie, (see link above) there is an included file called documentation.rtf, instructions for adding the sixaxis is there, along with explanation for how to write scripting. (if you know basic programming, its easy)

bluetooth working

with some help, i got the sixaxis to connect to windows using bluetooth. HOWEVER this diver is for USB, not bluetooth, so it pretty much does the same thing as it did before this driver was released...(ie; nothing) untill *someone writes one (ahem.. K1) There is a video of this here http://fr.youtub...
