Oops, forgot to include the ever important init statement. It doesn't crash now, hopefully it actually works:

Thanks for that.
Unfortunately its not working for me at the moment.
The object creates ok, but pd quits with no warnings or dialogs whenever you send a message into the inlet.
I'm trying it with Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5, Mac 10.4.8
Will try it on another machine just to make sure its not something with his machine.
Happy to try things if anyone has suggestions.
I downloaded the max demo and the max object works and syncs to the wii remote - I will make something in Max for now as I have 30 days of the demo to go.
Cheers
Nick

Hallo,

There is a max external for the Wii remote here

How big a job would it be to port it to PD - anyone up for it ? my
coding skills are minimal.
I guess, the best would be to just wait until the HID drivers
stabilize a bit and then use [hid] to talk to the Wii, maybe adding
some specialized abstractions later. Here are some interesting URLs:
http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiimote
http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Wiimote_driver
I'll get a Wii next year, so I'd be trying that route for sure then.
Right now [hid] and the next gen [hidio] use the HID APIs on Mac OS X and Windows, and the Linux input.h API. So those APIs would have to support that device in order to use the WiiRemote. From what I have seen, it seems to be a different API. Now that I see it, I'll need to think about how to best handle it. Plus the different OS's implementations could be very, very different.
The port seems to be pretty straightforward, most Max objects are pretty easy to port to Pd, and vice versa. It builds but with a ton of compiler warnings. It seems as tho the original programmer ignored them with the Max object. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you:
Attachment converted: Macintosh HD:wiiremote.pd_darwin.bz2 ( / ) (00B84091)
Also, write up a help file and an example patch and I'll include it.
This will be part of the nightly builds on Mac OS X now in the "io" libdir. FYI: I dropped the "aka." prefix on the Pd version.
