Hello,
I rediscovered my old Wiimote controller and I am trying to make it work with Processing 3.5.4. I am using a MacbookPro with macOS Catalina.
I already tried out several things but mainly my problem is that the used library doesn’t work anymore with Processing 3.
Approach 1:
- connect Wiimote simply with bluetooth: working, but not able to actually use the controller
Approach 2:
- use software to connect Wiimote to mac
- connection successfully established using DarwiinRemote, but still not able to actually use the controller
Approach 3 (help needed):
- use a library to make the Wiimote run in Processing
- I found this library from 2010 for Processing called wrj4P5
- after a lot of research and trial and error I managed to put all libraries and dependencies in the right place following this tutorial
- Blog - Francisco Dias - My Projects: Using a WiiMote with Processing
This is the library structure I finally implemented successfully:
+ Prossessing
+ libraries
+ Loc
+ library
- Loc.jar
+ lll
+ Loc
- ...
+ wrj4P5
+ library
- bluecove-2.1.0.jar
- bluecove-gpl-2.1.0.jar
- WiiRemoteJ.jar
- wrj4P5.jar
- Loc.jar (optional)
+ lll
+ wrj4P5
- ...
- after the installation I tried out this test code:
import lll.wrj4P5.*;
import lll.Loc.*;
Wrj4P5 wii;
float x, y, w, h;
//Number of IR Emmiters that you want to track
int IREmitters = 4;
void setup() {
size(512, 384);
wii=new Wrj4P5(this).connect(Wrj4P5.IR);
}
void draw() {
background(0);
//Draws ir emitters
for (int i=0; i<IREmitters; i++) {
Loc p=wii.rimokon.irLights[i];
if (p.x>-1) {
// Reads the value sent by the wiimote and multiplicities them by the size of the window
x=((p.x)*width);
y=((1.-p.y)*height);
w=p.z*50;
h=p.z*100;
//Prints the values to the console
print(x);
print(" ");
print(y);
print(" ");
print(w);
print(" ");
println(h);
//Draws the circles
noStroke();
fill(255, 255, 0);
ellipse(x, y, w, h);
//Draws the lines
stroke(255);
line(x, 0, x, height);
line(0, y, width, y);
delay(50);
}
}
}
- but I received the following error in line 14:
NoSuchMethodError: You may be using a library that's incompatible with this version of Processing.
NoSuchMethodError: processing.core.PApplet.registerDispose(Ljava/lang/Object;)V
- from what I read this probably means the library has to be recompiled to match the current Processing version
Can anybody help me with making the Wiimote work with Processing 3?
Thanks a lot in advance
