Although the number of normal-paired units was 16, this has now been changed to 10 normal-paired units and six simple-paired units.</p> 2542<p> 2543In addition, Wii consoles that have had 11 or more paired Wii Remotes can only use up to 10 Wii Remotes when operating with the SDK Version 2.1 WPAD Library. We recommend deleting all previous pairing information, since operation in this state was not anticipated.</p> 2544 2545<hr /> 2546<h3><a name="note73" id="note73">Note 73 (WPAD): Added Full mode to the Pointer.</a></h3> 2547<p>Added Full mode to the Wii Remote Pointer.

As a result, minor noise occurred in the right channel when the voice stopped.</p> 2580<p> 2581This problem has been corrected.</p> 2582 2583<hr /> 2584<h3><a name="note66" id="note66">Note 66 (OS): Expanded the alarm features.</a></h3> 2585<p>The following functions have been added.

It can also use Aux A and Aux B in DPL2 mode. However, an error was returned for Aux B (but not for Aux C) when calling MIX library functions (such as <CODE>MIXSetAuxA()</CODE> and others) to control controllers Aux A through Aux C in DPL2 mode.</p> 2697<p>This problem has been corrected.</p> 2698 2699<hr /> 2700<h3><a name="note44" id="note44">Note 44 (KPAD): Changed the module name, and added support for UI tool Version 4.</a></h3> 2701<p>The KPAD library <CODE>kpad[D].a</CODE>, supported by UI Tool Version 3, was renamed <CODE>kpadEmu[D].a</CODE>. In addition, the module name of the corresponding demo program was changed from <CODE>kpaddemo</CODE> to <CODE>kpadEmudemo</CODE>.</p> 2702<p> 2703<CODE>kpad[D].a</CODE> and <CODE>kpaddemo</CODE>, found in the SDK Version 2.0, are supported in UI Tool Version 4.</p> 2704 2705<hr /> 2706<h3><a name="note43" id="note43">Note 43 (WPAD): Added support for using the Wii Remote (both Bluetooth wired/wireless versions).</a></h3> 2707<p>A Wii Remote equivalent to the product version is now available. This allows development under a more realistic environment. Changes are as follows:</p> 2708<ul> 2709<li>Hardware</li> 2710<p> 2711The following are included in NDEV Version 2.0: 2712<ul> 2713<li>Bluetooth module</li> 2714<li>Two Bluetooth-version Wii Remotes</li> 2715<li>Two Nunchuks</li> 2716<li>One Sensor Bar for the Pointer</li> 2717</ul> 2718</p> 2719<li>Software</li> 2720<p> 2721The following are included in the SDK Version 2.0: 2722<ul> 2723<li>Bluetooth-compatible WPAD library</li> 2724<li>Bluetooth-compatible WPAD demo</li> 2725<li>Revised manual pages for the WPAD library</li> 2726</ul> 2727</p> 2728<li>Setup</li> 2729<p> 2730This section describes simple setup procedures.<br>For details, see RVL-ControllerHardwareOverview.pdf and RVL-ControllerSetup.pdf. 2731</p> 2732 <ol> 2733<li>Checking the Wii Remote</li> 2734<p> 2735Check whether the included Wii Remotes are wired or wireless versions. Set the BT Mode switch on the rear panel of the NDEV accordingly. Set the switch to the right if they are wired or to the left if they are wireless. In addition, be sure to connect them to the connectors on the left side of the NDEV if they are wired. It makes no difference which of the four connectors are used. <B>Note:</B> Because a coaxial cable is used for wired remotes, Bluetooth technology is used for both types. 2736</p> 2737<li>Placing the Sensor Bar</li> 2738<p> 2739The Sensor Bar connector is located above the AV connector on the rear panel of the NDEV. Connect the Sensor Bar to this connector. We recommend that you place the Sensor Bar directly above or below the television screen. 2740</p> 2741<li>Registration</li> 2742<p>The included Wii Remotes have not been paired with the NDEV. To use the Wii Remotes, you must pair them, whether they are wired or wireless. 2743 </p> 2744<p> 2745For a Wii Remote and Wii console to use wireless communication, they must be paired first so that communication does not occur with other pieces of hardware that are within wireless range. The Wii console can start pairing in the middle of an application. To pair Wii Remotes, press SYNCHRO on the front panel of the Wii console. When SYNCHRO is pressed, the Wii console searches for a Wii Remote waiting to be paired. The duration of the search varies as given below depending on the number of Wii Remotes currently attempting communication. 2746</p> 2747<table> 2748<tr><td>0 or 1</td><td>:</td><td>5 seconds</td></tr> 2749<tr><td>2</td><td>:</td><td>10 seconds</td></tr> 2750<tr><td>3</td><td>:</td><td>20 seconds</td></tr> 2751</table> 2752<p> 2753In addition, the search ends when the number of communicating Wii Remotes and the number of discovered Wii Remotes reaches 4. 2754</p> 2755<p> 2756While the Wii console is searching, be sure to press SYNCHRO inside the battery cover of the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote enters normal pairing wait status when SYNCHRO is pressed. The Player LED of the Wii Remote flashes during pairing. After a short time, pairing will finish and only one of the four Player LEDs will be lit. 2757</p> 2758</ol> 2759<li>Known Issues</li> 2760 <ul> 2761<li>Pairing with Multiple Wii Remotes</li> 2762<p> 2763Normal pairing with the fourth Wii Remote takes a relatively long time. In addition, sometimes pairing with another Wii Remote is suddenly lost. This is due to a problem with the driver. The problem should be resolved in the next release. We recommend using three or fewer remotes until the next release. 2764</p> 2765<li>Hot Connecting Nunchuks</li> 2766<p> 2767Nunchuks support hot connections. However, in rare cases, Wii Remotes suddenly become unresponsive when a Nunchuk is hot-swapped. This problem should be resolved in the next release. We recommend connecting and disconnecting Nunchuks while the Wii Remotes are not paired. 2768</p> 2769<li>Reconnect Timeout</li> 2770<p> 2771A Wii Remote will disconnect when the battery is depleted or the Power Button is held down for one second. Pairing can be reestablished by pressing any of the buttons on the Wii Remote. However, reconnection takes about one minute if attempted immediately after disconnection. This problem will be resolved in the future. Until then, wait a few seconds after disconnecting before reconnecting. 2772</p> 2773<li>Speaker</li> 2774<p> 2775The speaker feature cannot be used with the current release. Plans call for this to be included in the next release. 2776</p> 2777<li>Sampling Demo</li> 2778<p> 2779This demo works only with Wii Remotes.
