===**Objective: to create a smartboard like environment utilizing a wii mote, PC/UMD with Blue Tooth,an Infared Pen(s) and Free Software provided by Johnny Lee (creator of the Wii Whiteboard Project thus turning any surface into a interactive whiteboard that can be used for instruction and discussions**===

Hardware

 * **Projector (Front or Rear) - //most of our school rooms have one//**
 * **Wiimote** [] **$28.99**
 * **Infared Pen** **Building pens:**
 * Here is [|a simple schematic] of the light pen. The LEDs that I use are [|Vishay TSAL6400s] running at 100mA, but lots of other LEDs will work too. You also might be able to jump start your experimentation by retro-fitting a mini keychain light with an IR LED. I'm currently looking into manufacturing and selling IR pens, but this may take several months. [[image:http://johnnylee.net/projects/wii/pen.jpg width="750" height="154"]]

> The calibration and mouse cursor emulation software is available for you to download and try yourself. Note: My mouse emulation code isn't perfect. If any of you are programmers and can get it working with Alias Sketchbook, drop me a line. > **1.** Connect your wiimote to your PC via Bluetooth. There are a number of tutorials online on how to do this, possibly even for you specific software/hardware configuration. The Wiimote works with many (but not all) Bluetooth drivers. You can report/read about compatibility issues at ** [|WiimoteProject.com] ** **2.** Download the Wiimote Whiteboard software to the right. Please read the "READ ME.txt" file first! Make sure your wiimote is connected via Bluetooth, and then run the ".exe" in the main folder. NOTE: Good placement of the wiimote is key to good tracking. View the README for more info.
