Parallax Propeller/WiiMote white board

In this project, Gareth from Let’s Make Robots demonstrates how to interface a Parallax Propeller with the WiiMote and LCD display to form a white board. Inspired by the work of Johnnie Chung Lee with the WiiMote, Gareth uses the Propeller chip programmed in the Spin language to process data and interface with the display. The key to the whole idea is a simple hacked WiiMote camera tracking an infrared blob of light produced by a light pen consisting of an LED, resistor, switch and 3.3V battery. We’d like to see the schematic and source code!
