Step 2Figure out the optimum height of your Wii-Mote
The Wiimote has a slightly less than 45 degree field of view. I did the math on how far from the screen it would need to be based on a 45 degree FOV, but it ended up being slightly off.
I resorted to the very unscientific method of hooking up the wiimote to my laptop via bluetooth, starting Johnny Lee's WiiMote Whiteboard app, running calibration, putting my IR pen at the edge of the screen and moving the wii-mote away from the screen until it could see the IR pen.
The magic number for me was about 50cm up for my 15 inch Flat Screen. Your measurements may differ slightly. You'll also need to work out the optimum angle for the wiimote, if the pvc pipe is fairly flush to the bottom of the display it should be about 30 degrees
