Idea for a Show

Hello Ben,

I have an idea for a show. I was wondering if you could build an interactive whiteboard based on Johnny Chung Lee's idea (Google it) but instead of using a computer as normal would it be possible to use a Raspberry pi. I have been trying to build it myself however I cannot seem to find either an example of python code for it or a software package that will open on my Pi. I also have some experience with python but I'm not brilliant at it.I I have tried numerous downloads that say the should work but they dont open on my RPi. Am I doing something wrong? Any help will be gratefully recieved.

-Many Thanks Zack

There is a JAVA version that may be fast enough to run on the Pi. Here is a link http://www.uweschmidt.org/wiimote-whiteboard

I have previously tried the Java version on my RPi but it will not open. However thank you for the suggestion if you have anymore ideas then leave them on here. Or if I need to download something else to make it work.

Looks like the real key is the driver software, which according to the video, is PC or Mac, not Linux.

Hi Ben,
First of all thanks for taking notice and being bothered about this but anyway I have seen numerous different software packages for linux however none that should work will open on my RPi. Am I doing somehing wrong? Also would it be possible to write Python code for this to work.

Thanks for your interest
