Using two candles as a Wii Sensor Bar replacement

murfad
the sensorbar ist only a collection of 10 LED's. nothing else. the cable just delivers power to them. just LED'd.

The remote is wirelessly connected to the console. The sensor bars' been shown to only emit IR spectrum to the remote, for triangulation. So you can basically replace the sensor bar with anything that emits IR rays.

Doesn't need to connect. The Sensor Bar IS NO a receiver. The Wiimote is. It basically just receives information FROM the lights (LED's for instance) and then uses that to work out it's position more accurately. Then the information is transmitted from the Wiiremote directly to the Wii.

well obviously any IR source will work...and that's why bright light sources (also IR sources) cause problems
