Wiiremote redetection problem

[Florian Roth]

Currently you cannot scan for new Wiiremotes connected to the Bluetooth
Stack during Jacavi is running. Its also not possible to Rescan Wiimotes if one or more Wiiremotes are out of reach or turned of.

[Florian Roth]

AT this time I have the following Problems because of bugs in the WiiUseJ API also reported in ​WiiUseJ Group

• The disconnectionEvent in WiiUseJ Library is not triggered: WiiUseJ Bug
• I cannot force to shut off the console output of the WiiUseJ Library
• The Reconnection of Wiiremotes doesnt work if there are more than one Wiiremotes :-)

I tested on Windows XP SP3 OS.

Technical expertises

• I figgured out that the reconnection problem is a bug in the WiiuseJ API see

​reconnection problem in wiiusej users

• With the onDisconnectionEvent of the WiiUseJ API we could remove an not available or disconnected Wiimote from the InputDeviceManager?. Fact is there is a bug in wiiuse (C) so wiiuseJ has the same problem. We have to wait for the new version. see ​onDisconnectionEvent() WiiuseJ users group
• Dissable all log messages from WiiUseJ API. Iam on this it has to do with the underlaying native wiiuse API (written in C). Iam on this right now

The same problem exists under Ubuntu

This is not a problem in Ubuntu

​wiiuser disable console output

Same Ubuntu

FYI, even restarting JaCaVi doesn't get rid of the Wiimote here.

I can:

1. Start JaCaVi without a connected Bluetooth adapter.
2. Click 'redetect' --> no Wiimote appears.
3. Plug the Bluetooth adapter in.
4. Click 'redetect' --> Wiimote 1 appears.

Note that my Wiimote is deactivated during the whole process.

Nevermind, you already knew that. It's the same effect we had when you started a detection during the last meeting and it displayed the Wiimote you left at home.

[Henrik Heimbuerger]

When working on this, please remember that the input device configuration dialog can still have bugs. I'm not sure it properly throws missing devices away, etc.

If you at some point think it should work, but the input device configuration dialog shows unexpected behaviour, make sure the bug is not in the dialog.

New commit by froth (revision [338]):
[Fix for ticket #59] fixed the redetection problem with multiple wiimotes

Guilhelm Duch released a new version of wiiusej v.12b this version should fix the redetection bug. I couldn't test it jet.

[Florian Roth]

Tested with two Wiiremotes. Works fine.

[Florian Roth]

Works for Windows not for Linux. Its a WiiuseJ Problem.

New commit by froth (revision [522]):
[Related to ticket #59] there still exists a Wiiremote redetection problemunder linux

[Florian Roth]

Under Linux there is still a redetection problem for Wiiremotes. In my opinion this has to do with a bugy WiiUseJ and inderect with the several Bluetooth Stacks Win / Linux.
