My name is Carlos and trying to control Ableton live and couldn`t until today. Notice that the only function that respond my Wii control are the buttons, but not the movement (X, Y, Z).

Can you help me to fix this problem?

Tks in advance,

Carlos Morra

If the PS3 controllers use the HID joystick service, then the procedure for using them should be nearly identical. (HID = Human Interface Device; class-compliant, in other words.)

I think having an object to hold makes a lot of sense, personally. You would have difficulty containing the sensors and circuits (and vibration function!) in a glove without making it somewhat uncomfortable — which even the PowerGloves were (with fewer components). And an object lets you more easily access conventional buttons / d-pads. Anyone who’s throwing these things around the room is likely to have problems with damage from devices other than just the Wii controller. ;)

the new PS3 controllers are BT based as well.
Has ny1 tried hooking those up to a mac ???

why don’t they use the same technology as an interective glove instead of the remote control for the Wii System, it’s a lot easier than the remote control that is causing all the accidents and incidents.
