How to connect the Wiimote to PC

If you were reading the previous post, you probably want to know how to connect the wiimote to your PC.
Here there is a simple trick to do that.
First, please make sure that you have the ingredients (cooking?) below on your hand.

• Wiimote - I assume that you should have it on your hand now
• AA batterry x 2 - It is required for your wiimote to work anyway
• Bluetooth dongle/device - Here there is a link to the Wiili.org that list all the compatible bluetooth devices (http://www.wiili.org/index.php/Compatible_Bluetooth_Devices)

So, I believe you should have them on your hand to start with.

1. Install your newly bought (probably) bluetooth dongle with your PC. Make sure that you have installed the driver properly and it has a working bluetooth stack. For my case, my laptop has an integrated bluetooth device and I installed Toshiba Bluetooth Stack on it. In case you are using Windows Vista, the Windows Generic Bluetooth Device also works actually.
2. Now your bluetooth is working on your PC, put 2 AA batteries into your wiimote and press some buttons to make sure that it is in working condition.
3. Up until this step, you are probably very excited and trying to scan for bluetooth devices on your PC after you press the 'on' button on the wiimote, don't you? And you are frustrated with it that the wiimote has a very short time out that your PC is not detecting it as fast.
4. Here there is the trick comes in, press the 1 and 2 buttons on the wiimote simultaneosly and have your PC to scan for bluetooth device immediately. With this trick, the time out for the wiimote becomes longer and your PC should be able to detect it and establish the connection. In case that your bluetooth stack ask you for the type of the device being connected, you should try to seek for the "Human Interface Device" from the list the options it gives you.
5. Daadaaaaang!! Your wiimote is now connected with your PC if you are able to proceed through these few steps without any problem. A prove of your wiimote is connected is that the 4 LEDs on your wiimote should keep blinking now.

So, is it really easy to get your wiimote connected?
I hope you feel so.
