I installed wiimote external using the rdz repository
(https://launchpad.net/~reduzierer/+archive/rdz-pd-extra+deps)
i use pd-extended, so i had to add the path and the startup command manually.
i created an object, and played with wiimote-help.
everything ok with the wiimote itself. Then i tried the balance board. I see
it's still untested, and in fact it doesn't work properly.
The balance board has a white button that only flashes for half a second when
pressed, and a red button close to the batteries. I tought i could use the
white button like the 1+2 on the wiimote, to put the board in discoverable
mode. It didn't work, so i tried with the red button. It makes the blue light
on the white button blink for a while, and if press the "discover" message
connected to [wiimote] object, i receive this outuput in the main window:
wiimote 6 is successfully connected
Retrieved wiimote calibration: zero=(00,00,00) one=(00,00,00)
MotionPlus controller attached.
(the number of the wiimote changes at every connection, increasing i guess)
So, the board is recognized as a wiimotionplus. In fact, in the Balance
subpatch, there's no response at all. Instead in the MotionPlus subpatch i can
see the Pitch and the Yaw bars moving as i stand and move on the board (the
roll bar seems stable and just affected by some kind of noise).
Maybe this can be of some help for the developers, i can make more tests if
needed.

PS: i would also like to know more about the "retrieved wiimote calibration..."
stuff. i see it appears with the wiimote as well... what is it?
