The title explains it all: How to Make a Wireless Wii Sensor Bar.

A correction: When I say AA battery in the video, I actually mean AAA battery. Yes, I suck at life, but don't care enough to change it =)

If you have any questions, post on the comments and I or someone else should be able to help you.

-Also, I am planning on making an IR transmitter with a longer range. I noticed that the range on this sensor bar is only about 10 or so feet; it is really finicky or doesn't work at all beyond that. I'll let you know how that goes.

  • unless you wanted ...

    unless you wanted it for something like a projector. The size of the screen means that the 12" sensor bar is too small. You saw him put the led's on the table they were a couple feet apart.

  • the bar has five ...

    the bar has five per side, but the remote doesn't knwo the difference.

    Nothing goes to the back of the wii.

    an hour is because he made those nice little labels on them.

    You sounded like a Grocery Store Clerk at the end there. 'Have a Nice day'? I have to say that, or I'd be fired. :P

    Oh, and you lied. I saw the second Sensor Bar in the video.

    Well, I didn't, but still. It's cool. Now I want a Wii so I can do that :P

  • I assume your couch ...

    I assume your couch is set very far back from the TV. If that is the case, you merely need more powerful IR LED's and set them up the way he has them.

    all the sensor bar is a glorified light source that tells the Wii remote which way the TV is. All the cable does is give it power. putting up more LED's around the room would only serve to confuse the hell out of the remote and cause it to not work right.

  • He made a sensor ...

    He made a sensor bar you idiot.... but then again he probably spent about 20 dollars worth of parts which is how much a wireless "sensor" bar would cost anyway. So all in all yeah it was pretty poitless. I'm make one because the wireless one I bought doesn't work and I don't usually try a broken product more than once if it doesn't work for the first time... just a little red flag for me.
