Throw away Sensor Bar

[MadBryan]

Have ya'll seen how you don't need the sensor bar? I saw on Attack of the Show and read online that you can just light Two small candles cause they put off enough infrared light for the Wiimote to read. This is good news if your setup is to large for the cable on the sensor bar. I will probably use this trick with the downstairs projector and thought you guys might also

Nice. There are a few vids out there, mainly on Youtube, with folk finding ways around the Wii sensor bar. The candles is a cool way around it. Unless the Wiimote flies out of your hand and knocks a candle over causing your house to go up in flames.

Sorry I was just trying to start a discussion thinking everyone had heard or seen. The sensor bar is nothing more than two IR emmiters at each end giving the Wii mote something to see. Some peoples rooms a so large or the have projectors the short cable is a headache. Its been discovered you can light two small candles and place them on each side of your tv or "screen" and they put off enough IR to work the Wiimote. I agree its not the best solution but in my setup it won't look to bad till aftermarket catches up with a wireless solution.

That's really cool. Thanks for the info MadBryan. That should help quite a few people whose setups don't permit the bar from being positions properly. Thanks!

There was a guy you added 30 feet simply by cutting the wire on the sensor bar and adding additional wire. There was nothing fancy or complicated about the procedure or the wires. I guess that is why a sensor bar direct from Nintendo is only ten bucks! At least they didnt price it like it was some magic device.
