wii wired/wireless sensor bar

Post Reply New Topic

First off, don't get a wireless sensor bar for the Wii. Sucks up batteries much too fast.

Secondly, why will the wii sometimes respond to the wiimote with the sensor bar off and other times it won't? Like if I'm on Netflix, I can sometimes move the wiimote and the little finger will move around with the sensor bar being off. Why don't they put the sensor in the system itself?

The sensor bar is just 4 LEDs 2 LEDs on each side. The motion detectors are on the front of a Wii remote were the black glossy piece is because if you go into the setup for that and point the remote to a window it will read it as IR you can build one I did with some parts from radioshack and it has 2 LEDs anus it worked fine.

Never bothered me since I have a couple sets of rechargeable batteries I use for the Wiimote. By the way I'm currently playing "Kirby's Return to Dream Land" which is the only good Wii exclusive game that has been released lately in my opinion.

I saw they make those, I have no idea what the point is. Why in the world would anybody have their Wii far enough away from their TV to make that the slightest bit practical??

And like the other guy said, it's just LEDs inside the bar (infra-red ones). Sometimes sunlight, lightbulbs, candle flames, and even Christmas tree lights can interfere with it.

I was actually talking about batteries for the Wiimote which uses them up quick too.
