Wii Drum Kit Source Code


First off, I am sorry that this took so long. I know that some of you are having issues with the software, and I wanted to address them myself, but I clearly don't have time for that. So thanks for your patience. Thanks for checking up on the project, and reminding me that I should be opening up the source.

Second, you should all know that I have not edited this code one iota. It hasn't been cleaned up for distribution, and I haven't had time to add explanatory comments. In other words, approach at your own risk!

Still, I naturally put a ton of comments in my code, and for most programmers, it should be pretty easy to dig right in to. If you make any improvements, or fix any bugs, send me an email and attach the fixed file. I will add the changes to the main project, and put up a post to credit you.

Without further ado here is the source code for my wiimote drum kit. The code is in vb.net, and relies on DirectX9.0c and Brian Peek's wiimote wrapper.

Don't forget that you need a bluetooth dongle. Also, I have the DirectX SDK installed on my PC. I'm not sure whether you need that, or just the runtime DLLs to compile it.

Thanks Evan, I converted the project to C# and to make use of the latest WiiMoteLib. Also there is no need to reconnect the nunchuck after the program starts. For those who are interested the source code and the installer are available here: WiiDrumsEXM_CS.zip
and at 2008-04-20 12:19:59How to get it working?
So I've downloaded the WiiDrumsInstall och installed it. I downloaded WiimoteLib 1.2.1 and don't know what to do with it (it says "error reading data from Wiimote.. is it connected?). How should I install everything and use the programs to get the drums goin' warm? (I have successfully connected the wiimote with my pc via BlueSoleil so far) I appreciate your work on this!

I can't download the C# version. It seams that Streamload, where is hosted, changed its name or something. Could I get it from somewhere else? Thanks!
