One of the biggest issues with the Wiimote Whiteboard is the Infrared Light Pen required to operate the whiteboard. Despite the fact that there are IR light pens available online, it is much more cost effective to build one yourself if you have the inclination.
Here are two tutorials that you can find on You Tube. The first is from Ken Moore. The video can be found on his blog kenmooredesign.com. Ken has written instructions on his blog as well. There is a link to it in the "Essential Wiimote Links" list to the right.
The second video is one that I made. Both videos are very similar.

I got my pens from wiipenmaker on ebay. I'm not advertising for him, but the pens are sweet. He did give me a free one for making a Youtube video using his pen, though. They're cheap and sturdy.
ReplyDeleteThen again, if you have the knowhow and gumption to build your own, go for it! DIY edtech is the best!
Where did you buy your momentary switch? It looked very nice.
