Hi Bueter, You will first have to figure out how to set a VRPN server and WiiMote working for wiimote Joystick (I'm guessing its the four buttons in front for left,right,top,bottom). Here is tutorial that may help you. http://www.vrgeeks.org/vrpn/tutorial---use-vrpn. It dont think it uses the buttons but you can tweak the example to write one for them.
Once you have the VRPN server ready then connecting them to PV should be a matter easy. The last I checked I dont think the VRPlugin has any interaction styles handling button input. However this may have changed in the recent months. If it has not then you will have to write a new interactor style to handle this. -Nikhil On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 4:41 PM, Bueter, Travis J.
