[Visualpython-users] Vpython and Wiimote

[Martin M. <pro...@gm...>]

A few weeks ago folks posted about using the Wiimote to control vpython.  I
finally got around to posting some video of this on my site.  In short I
used two of the accelerometer axis to control the rotation of the image and
the inclination of the remote to control the zoom.  It is a pretty neat way
to manipulate an image.  Details of how to do this and videos are posted at
my site:
http://profmason.com/?p=529I finally got approval to do a vpython workshop
out at Mt. Sac (As part of a larger workshop on Project based learning)  If
anyone is in the LA area and willing, I would love to find some folks to
come in and talk about how they use Vpython in their classroom.  (Or if you
want to learn how Vpython can be used for integrated projects in the
introductory engineering physics course) The workshop is scheduled from June
14th to the 17th.  Contact me for more info at pro...@gm...

have fun!
