Help with wiiuse?

Can someone out there who’s pretty knowledgeable leave a comment with information about how to get wiiuse working? I’m messing around GRRLIB right now, and I was wondering if I could use wiiuse along with it, so as to use a rectangle drawn by GRRLIB as a sort of button.

First, I don’t understand why the Wiiuse api has methods listed as using “wiiuse” in the name, like wiiuse_init(), while methods in the GRRLIB template and the devkitPro Wii template have the method WPAD_init(). I’m also trying to figure out how to connect the wiimote so that I can enable IR and motion sensing with wiiuse, but the api for the method confuses me.

For example, the method for enabling IR is as follows:

void wiiuse_set_ir(struct wiimote_t* wm, int status);

I don’t know what to pass for the “struct wiimote_t* wm” argument. I’m still new with C++ so the syntax makes no sense to me. I think its a pointer, but then what exactly am I supposed to pass? I’m also confused as to how to initialize the wiimote. Do I have to use the find and connect methods? WPAD_Init() seemed to have my wiimote already connected properly.

Please help me out!

Thanks

    I don’t the reason why all of the code for the wii has WPAD instead of wiiuse.
    It seams that
    WPAD_SetDataFormat(WPAD_CHAN_0, WPAD_FMT_BTNS_ACC_IR);
    starts IR tracking and wiiuse
    I would try looking at the source of a game like matching cards for information on using wiiuse.

    The API on the website is different than the one in the libogc.

    For the first function, input the array of wiimotes you have and the entry with the wiimote you want to change the status of. Then enter 0 or 1 for on or off.

    For example, if I wanted to turn the first wiimotes ir sensing on, I would type:

    wiiuse_set_ir(wiimotes[0], 1)

    Does that help?
