Connecting with Balance Board requires the use of reset button #34

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
On a minimal test using the experimental, I can only seem to get the balance 
board to connect when i hit the reset button.

Pressing the front 'turn on' button doesn't seem to be able to connect in any 
way I try.  Hitting the reset button works just fine.

Not expecting a fix, just wanted to log this as something needing improvement 
if possible.

Yep, it's not fixable. New Wiimotes with -TR suffix in name (and, i think, 
Balance Boards) can pared with normal PC/Mac only with sync button.

But after what, wiimote can establish connection as normal paired device. 
Wiimote.framework support this feature, but it disabled on defaults.

You can enable this on applications start:

[Wiimote setUseOneButtonClickConnection:YES];

(If you use my test.app, you can add this line to TestController awakeFromNib, 
i think). After what, pair Balance Board once with sync button. Balance Board 
will pair with OS X, and OS X doesn't forget about device after disconnection. 
Later, Balance Board (if test.app started) can connect to application without 
sync button.

But i test it only with Wiimote/Wii U Pro Controller. :( May be Balance Board 
have some other behavior.

Haha! that works.

Thanks a ton!

I used the same test app I wrote from the other ticket, works out just fine! 
Even restarted the app and it connected no problems.
