To Wii Remote Or Not To Wii Remote

Last week I started a discussion about some problems I was having using EZ- software. I noticed that the tutorials didn't track with the new software. The EZ robot staff insured me that, that was a temporary problem to be fixed as time permits. So, I concluded my Wii remote didn't work because the software was different than the tutorial. But..... I was wrong.

Further we discussed a problem I discovered using the Wii remote with the new software. However I realized from previous forum discussions that others were having the same unresolved issues. Some robosists said they had no problems making the Wii remote work while others were never able to get it to work at all. Now, here is what we've discovered together as a result of this forum.

My first Wii remote has this printed on the side Wiimote is CE 0125 ACN 060 566 083 FCC ID UMB-WCF7 IC:6719A-WCF7 Not e: No matter what I did or tried it would not work. Now the good news, when I tried another remote with this nomenclature ACN 060 566 083 FCC ID POO-WC45 IC:4250A-WC45 It worked great. Now that we have more information about this problem can it be fixed. I'm sure many people were as frustrated as I when it wouldn't work. So, can the people at EZ robot fix this?

@robot2012 From my experience having tried three different wii remotes there is no problem with the EZ-B its windows does not find the wii remote in bluetooth, therefore it cannot work with EZ-B

TEST RESULTS Remote 1 : Works perfectly every time Remote 2 :Identical model to Remote 1,must be re installed in bluetooth evertime I boot windows Remote 3: With built in motion plus will not setup in windows bluetooth.

DJ, I know about the ? next to the X button, its a great idea. So, do you have any ideas to fix this? Or is this strictly a Microsoft issue. You may want to list the type remotes known to work and those that don't. I ordered another remote last week, it arrived today. If this one works with the Wii system and not with EZ board then we may know for sures. Pun intended.

Oh yes can I order one of the new EZ boards? If so where and how much. I still use the original V2.1 as we spoke on the phone.

I don't understand the question still. Are you having trouble with the WiiMote? Are you unable to add it to the computer?

If you can tell me what the issue is, i'll be able to help

I would like to buy just the V3.X current version board. Where do I find it? Just the board alone.

You might find a V3.X on ebay but that board is now manufacture discontinued and is replace with the soon to be released V4.
