I just received the Wii remote or Wiimote. I have my m3pi programmed with m3pi Wii Racing program from the MBED Cookbook. I have a Bluetooth USB Mouse dongle. I tried it plugging it into USB A on the m3pi. I have 2 15K resistors from each data pin to ground as has been indicated to do.

I am not familiar at all with Wii. But did read the User Manual about sync.Tried Standard and One Time sync. I tried to to get a response from the robot. Nothing! Maybe I can't use a mouse bluetooth dongle? Which one to use? What am I doing wrong? Thanks

I think the mouse type blue tooth is probably 'low power - blue tooth' Which is not compatable.

I have tested blue tooth with a cheap one And I got messages from Wii remote.

My local pound shop has one too, (only £1)! But I ban not tested it yet.
