Sorry for all of the previous confusion. Version 1.5.2 is now up at CodePlex. This release now has the Wii Fit Balance Board working for everyone who has tried it. Please let me know if you have any issues with it. The changes: v1.5.2.0 Ok, Balance Board support is really fixed this time (thanks to Manuel Schroeder, Eduard Kujit and Alex Wilkinson for testing) LED checkboxes are properly set on the WiimoteTest tabs Enjoy!

UPDATE 2: Sorry, but I've removed this release from CodePlex. It's just too buggy (though it continues to work just fine for me). Look for version 1.5.2 very soon... UPDATE: It appears some people are still having issues with this build as well due to some Balance Boards being a bit finicky in their response times. Stay tuned for build 1.5.2 soon… Oops. Apparently the one new thing in version 1.5, Balance Board support, was actually broken. I have just put version 1.5.1 up at CodePlex which fixes the Balance Board operation. Sorry about that…

The library reads those individual sensors to determine how much weight is applied to each sensor, and the total weight applied to the entire board. You can use it as an impromptu (and very expensive) scale. Comments and bugs welcome…

In an effort to put out more frequent builds with fewer changes, I’ve released WiimoteLib v1.4 to CodePlex. This release contains the single most requested feature: multiple Wiimote support. I’m very interested to hear bug reports and suggestions on this release, so please do let me know how it works for you. The original Coding4Fun article has also been updated with some details on how to use multiple Wiimotes, as has the WiimoteTest application included with the distribution. Changes Multiple Wiimotes supported! Slight change to...
