Parts Ordered!
I have done some research and determined the parts I will need for this project and they are currently ordered.
The parts I have chosen for this project are as follows:
I already have an Arduino Mega ADK and a WiiMote in my possession so I do not need to purchase those!
The parts I have chosen for this project are as follows:
- 5V 2A (2000mA) switching power supply
- Female DC Power Adapter - 2.1mm jack to screw terminal block
- Digital Addressable RGB LED LPD8806
- 100m Wireless Bluetooth USB Dongle for PDA/PC/cellphone
- HDE Wired Infrared Sensor Bar for Nintendo Wii

Introduction
My name is Mark Riley and I am a Applied Computer Science student at Arizona State University. The intention of this blog is to track and share my progress for my project in Embedded C Programming
. The project I selected was to replicate an existing project over at http://liightbrush.wordpress.com/.
I will be performing baby steps since I am not familiar with Arduino capabilities nor am I experienced with serial communication or Wiimote interfacing utilizing C#.
The objectives i want to accomplish are as follows:

The objectives i want to accomplish are as follows:
- Order the parts for my project
- Upon receiving parts; Construct Device.
- Interface Wiimote with my computer and create a sample program to test capabilities
- Create an Application using C# that gets information from the Wiimote in regarding LED's position. As the wii mote gets closer to the LED's the LED's will turn red. As the Wii mote gets further from the LED's turn blue.
