[Tutor] IronPython, the wii remote, and blender

[Michael Langford]

Yes it is possible. Checkout pybluez, its a pretty easy to use
bluetooth toolkit. Looks like these guys have a lower level driver
needed to get the wiimote going

I remebered that they have a wii remote library for vb.net and C#(http://blogs.msdn.com/coding4fun/archive/2007/03/14/1879033.aspx), and IronPython is a .net framework.   Would it be fairly easy to convert their code to work with IronPython?  After that is working, I would might need some help from someone who already knows the blender source, or who can write externals for it fairly well.
