The gyroscopic system of the wiimote
shouldn't be used bcause of the difficulty to master the movement in this
conditions. we propose to use it as a minimalistic but very ergonomic remote
! . Success guaranteed with young audiences !
TROUBLESHOOTINGS
Hard disk saturation by temporary
files:
When the USB bluetooth dongle isn't
plugged in and it uses the configuration "Automatic" as described. In 1
or 2 boots, it leads to a disk full at 100%!
In this case, boot in failsafe mode:
cd / tmp
rm -rf *
Then reboot normally (with the key
bluetooth).
Morality: You must heve the bluetooth
dongle connected permanently.
