connect wii to computer

I am trying to get a wiimote connected to my computer. For this I am using the wiimote package (ros.org/wiki/wiimote).

i am following these steps link (wiki.ros.org/wiimote/Tutorials/StartingWiimoteNode).

At step 3 after starting the wiimote node i press the buttons 1 and 2 as stated, nothing happens the cursor just keeps on blinking.

when i press the buttons on the wiimote the blue lights blink on the wiimote.

screen shot of the terminal. (drive.google.com/?tab=wo&authuser=0#my-drive).

can anybody help me with this problem???

um. i can't see the screen shot (that is a local path)

do you get: Wiimote read error read error (nunchuck cal)

if so, the wiimote maybe connected (no blue lights on the wiimote) type: rostopic echo wiimote/state/buttons

the other thing i did is open up bluetooth in linux and pair the wiimote. i am not sure what worked
