Ceiling Mounted Wiimote Whiteboard

Step 2 Preparing the Wiimote Battery cover

Before we can mount the wiimote we have to make a few modifications to it. Start by taking the jacket, strap, and battery cover off of the wiimote. Now flip the battery cover over there will be some thin plastic lines that make a rectangle. In the middle of this rectangle you should make a dot. This dot is where you're going to drill a hole the size of the hex part of the nut, but smaller than the flange part. I usually start with 3/8 drill bit then ream the hole out with a pocket knife til i get it the right size. The hex part of the nut should be hard to push through and fit tightly once you get the hole the right size. If it is too loose you may want to add a little glue to hold it in place. Now you have a battery cover with threading. You can use this to mount the wiimote on a tripod if you like, but were going to permanently mount this one so cut a small notch in the cover on one side just below the nut. Set the cover to the side we're done with it for now.
