It works fine in my v. 0.3. Admittedly the double-smooth is not the most elegant coding ever, so maybe take one of them out. I also just saw on their website that there may be a problem when you use the IR sensors as well.

I can’t get GlovePIE 29 to recognize the following lines:

FakeMouse.DirectInputX = Smooth(Smooth(MapRange(Wiimote.Roll,-var.RollDegrees,var.RollDegrees,-var.s_width/2,var.s_width/2)))
FakeMouse.DirectInputY = Smooth(Smooth(MapRange(Wiimote.Pitch,-var.PitchDegrees,var.PitchDegrees,-var.s_height/2,var.s_height/2)))

What version of GlovePIE did you use?

Great gobs of goosegrease!! How did you come up with this one!(oh yeah, you did say so above). My family uses the wii a lot. I’m not learned enough in Sketchup (Pro) but will sure try this out when I am! I will be on your blog a lot in the future, didn’t know you were here. I came upon this in the pro discussion group. I am coming out of retirement (55 yrs with 20 yrs. in Autocad doing piping and pressure vessel design). Acad priced me out of the picture with their costly upgrades but now comes Sketchup- WOW!!!! (I know, I’m too wordy)
