Now you have almost finished. I purchased this USB Bluetooth Dongle from Dick Smith Electronics in Australia. It cost me $39.95 (Retails for $49.95 ..It was on sale).

I am using windows Vista, and in my case I found that the BlueSoleil Software that came with the Pen did not do the job correctly, so I purchased the upgrade to the new version which worked perfectly.

All you do is start the Bluetooth Software (I Prefer the Classic View), Search for new devices by right clicking on the Orange Globe in the middle of the screen and then press the 1 and 2 Buttons together on the Wiimote. The device should then be found. (Make sure the LEDs are flashing like it shows in the image).

Then, again, Press the 1 and the 2 buttons so the LEDs are flashing and right click the device name and select Connect.

Once its connected the Device will go green on the display.

Finally Download the code from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/. Specifically this is the code you want: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/WiimoteWhiteboardv02.zip
