How to Make a Wireless Wii Sensor Bar

The Nintendo Wii is different from other seventh-generation home gaming consoles in that its controller is used to point at a location on the television. This serves as the basis of the controls for many Wii games. The Wii controller communicates with the Wii through the use of the Wii's sensor bar, which sits either above or below your television. Since the only active parts of the Wii sensor bar are the lights within, Wii sensor bar technology can be easy to replicate.
