WPF Wiimote Library (Now With Project Files!)

Now that we’ve successfully demoed the Wiimote visualizer in the Open Space at MIX 08 and shown off what we can do at the Show Off event, I need to be a responsible blogger and put the project up… files and all. I have, with Brian Peek’s permission, packaged his managed library in here as well. Please read and respect his licencing agreements.

 There are really two parts to the WPF Wiimote Visualizer. The first part is the WPF Wiimote Binding Library, which we’ll cover in this post (or at least make this post the hub of that information). The second part is the Visualizer program itself, which is basically just the WPF Wiimote Library bound to a bunch of XAML elements.

The WPF Wiimote Binding Library will allow simple binding between your Wiimote and your WPF application (I’ve got a whole post on that here). But let me extrapolate a little on what the library has to offer. I’ve seperated out the data into different posts to make it a little more digestible.

Misc Data (Rumble, Battery, Accelerometers) (coming soon)

    What version of Visual Studio are you using? I have C# 2005 Express Edition on one computer and VS 2008 on another and both give an error opening this project. From 2005 it says “this project was created in a newer version of this application”, and in 2008 it says “The project type is not supported by this installation”.

    Anything you can tell me about your setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I’m using VS2008 Professional Edition (trial version 9.0.21022.8 RTM) and I’m using it with the .Net 3.5 Framework. I’ll test it out on another machine to see what the problem is.
