Part II, Step 1: WiimoteConnect settings
The WiimoteConnect software can be used to improve the speed and reliability of the Bluetooth connection with the Wii remote. It can be set to automatically connect to the Wiimote on startup, run the Smoothboard executable, then shut itself down (when it’s no longer needed).
Notice that the WiimoteConnect software can also “learn” the unique ID of your personal Wiimote(s). Simply press the learn button, and make your Wiimotes discoverable.
If you place the WiimoteConnect icon (or a shortcut to it) on the desktop, you will now have a single location to get the Wiimote Whiteboard up and running.
Simply double click on WiimoteConnect icon, and hold “1” and “2” on the Wiimote. The software will do all the work of connecting and starting the Smoothboard application.
