Preferences
You can find here a description of preferences you can set for the
WiimoteCommander software.
To access the "Preferences" window, use the "Application->Preferences" main window menu option.
You can change:
- Startup parameters: Initial language
- 3D window parameters: Thresholds for the smoothing movements filter.
- Audio parameters for controller window: Sound capture, and save file format.
- Analog stick widget parameters: Used colors.
- Infra-Red widget parameters: Used colors.
- Accelerometer widget parameters: Used colors, show G lines, show min/max values, min/max values reset delay.
Startup Configuration
Startup Parameters
You can set parameters used at startup:
- Language
- Look & Feel
- If you want to display or not "tooltips" when applicable
3D Window Configuration
Smoothing Movements Filter
The smoothing movements filter permit to stabilize the 3D image by not taking in account very little moves.
You can specify the movement amount threshold for both X and Y axes.
If you set the threshold to zero, the smooth filter will have no effect (as if it didn't exist).
Ambient light color
You can select the ambient light color that illuminate the 3D wiimote.
Audio Configuration
Sound capture
Following parameters are used to set the way we capture sounds:
- Sample rate
- Set the number of captured samples during one second (Hz).
- Sample size
- Set the size (in bits) of a sample.
- Channels
- Choose "Mono" or "Stereo" mode.
- Signed
- Indicate if audio data bytes are signed.
- Big Endian
- Indicate if audio data is coded with the "Big Endian" order.
Save file format
This parameter permit to choose in which file format captured sounds are saved
when you use the [Save] button in audio section of the controller window.
You can choose one of the following values (Supported by the Java sound API):
- aifc (AIFF-C variant of the Audio Interchange File Format)
- aif (Audio Interchange File Format - Co-developed by Apple in 1988, based on Electronic Arts' IFF format)
- au (AU file format - This format was introduced by Sun Microsystems and is now widely used on Unix systems)
- snd (Interchangeable sound file format originally used on Sun, NeXt, and Silicon Graphics computers.)
- wav (Microsoft and IBM audio file format)
Analog Sticks Configuration
Used colors
You can define used colors :
- Background color
- Visual Area Zone Color
- Location Cross Color
- Text Color
Infra-Red Widget Configuration
Used colors
You can define used colors :
- Background color
- Visual Area Zone Color
- Color of crosses that represent detected infra-red points
Accelerometer Widget Configuration
Used colors
You can define used colors :

Scale Grid
You display or not the scale grid components :
- Display or not "G" lines.
- Display or not the thin persistant lines for min/max values.
Reset Delay for min/max Values
You can control the number of data captures that occur before min/max value persistant lines are reset.
