DarwiinRemote / News: Recent posts

I've finally stamped a version 0.7 release. This version adds support for the Classic Controller. All the buttons should be mappable just like the Wiimote and Nunchuk.

The framework already supported these things, so there is no change there.

This version has a very updated user interface.
The Wiimote and Nunchuk joystick are represented by Quartz Composer views.
The log and expansion port are now in slide out drawers.
There is a window that shows the IR sources being tracked and reports the IR report values.
You can now sync with the Wiimote on demand. This helps to overcome the problem with the connection being dropped.

Unfortunately, Classic Controller support has been removed from this version - only DarwiinRemote, not the framework. When a Quartz Composer view is done, it will be added back in.

Version 0.6 is almost ready for release. The changes are in the trunk. Would a few brave souls please download, compile, and test the new code so that it can be declared good to go?

I've been made an admin for this project. I hope to get development going again soon. If you are interested in helping out, please let me know.
