Hi thanks for the positive Feedback and sorry it took so long to answere.

Yes there is a note based system in planning to configure the connection between tracker and connector plugins. Hope it comes soon. With modifiers etc. Also multimonitor support for one computer etc for the 2 LED and 4 LED tracker plugins.

If you have tutorials send them to the published email. many ppl are very greatful for this i bet!

Greetings back 🙂

I have created the system with four groups of four 5m 940 diodes and three 220 resistors in each group, fed with a 5v mobile power supply. It works incredibly. I am thinking of creating a tutorial. I use this on monitors and TVs and it works quite well for me. I think that for a projector it is less powerful, but I will try it soon. They are encapsulated in a box that I designed in Blender with the pluggin to create CAD and printed with PLA on a 3D printer. I use it in Teknoparrot and it is great. For other systems I use the Retrobat frontend. What a pity that it does not work well. It would be incredible if you and the guys from Retrobat could approach each other and integrate this into Retrobat. It would be wonderful. Imagine if changes could be made in Lichtknarre from Retrobat. This will surely open the door to Batocera. Finally, for a future update, I think it would be great to have game profiles and be able to change buttons. Thanks for Lichtknarre, “That’s the way”. Greetings from Spain

I have tested the nunchuck again and it works perfectly for me.

Yeah the build quality differed from device to device. 🙁

In upcomming Lichtknarre versions you are able to make global configurations and individual device configurations. Than you can finetune every little detail 🙂

Its still Beta ;D Takes alot of time.

Can you do me a favor and come to discord?

Than we can figure it out.

I decided to test out my other wiimotes and I’ve also found out that each wiimote seems to have a different sensitivity to 850nm. They all see the regular sensor bar fine, but some struggle to see my current 4 led set up. I might have to power up my LEDs or change the set up. These are 5W 850nm LEDs and I am underpowering them at 1W so I could blast them if I don’t mind getting hit with so much light. I’ll have to work on this.

Hello again. Sorry for posting a new comment. This page hates my browser and won’t let me use the reply function.

I pulled out all my nunchucks and tested 4 of them. Only 1 of them worked with Lichtknarre (with the axis backwards, but 100% working). This is weird since I can test all of them in dolphin using VC_Test homebrew and they all work 100%. I even went out and found 1 more nunchuck and this one had everything working except for the stick. This one also worked in dolphin, so I have tested 5 nunchucks with this program.

I found a working nunchuck, so my problem is solved, but there might be some kind of issue with the nunchuck drivers. On another note I am using this program a lot and I really am enjoying it. I just need to figure out how to move a LED so its not right on my power button. Thanks for all your work.

Hello Andrew,

actually, the current version has been tested extensively and the nunchuck should actually work. But I will take some time this week to do this again and report back here.

Otherwise I can only give you the following tips:
– Try another official Nunchuck
– Try another connector plugin like vJoy/mouse
– The Nunchuck must be connected before connecting the Wii Remote to Lichtknarre.

Otherwise, thank you for your positive feedback. You’r IR solution sounds fascinating 🙂

See you soon.

I used 4x5w 850nm LED for raspberry pi security camera and this works great. I have 2 in series running 5v from my TV usb and ran 2 sets on my tv.

Problem is that nunchucks do not seem to work anymore. I am using ViGEm plugin but it doesn’t register in Lichtknarre. I see it used to work on the tutorial, so I can’t figure out the problem.
I am on 0.9.11.26. The nunchuck works on Dolphin so I know it isn’t broken.

Hi you are right. The real ratios on the screen counts. Maybe i need to update the tutorial.
The try & error method works the best. change value and try again.

After next release i update tutorials and rethink all the stuff. Maybe ViGem connector plugin comes soon 🙂 (i hope)
