wiimote_node with the new Wii MotionPlus

Hi, i am trying to run the wiimote_node with the new version of the Wii MotionPlus, but it doesn't work:

Press buttons 1 and 2 together to pair (within 6 seconds).
(If no blinking lights, press power button for ~3 seconds.)
No wiimotes found
[FATAL] [WallTime: 1343151845.607927] No Wiimote found to pair with.
[INFO] [WallTime: 1343151845.608780] Exiting Wiimote node.

Any idea what the problem is?

Does it work without the the WiiMotionPlus plugged in?

I test it with the previous version of the joystick wiimote, and its works perfectly. This new wii joystick incorporated the WiiMotionPlus, i can´t separate it, as the previous version.

Have you tried it with wmgui?

Yes, I just did it and it also does not connect :\ Do you have any idea what it is?

Perhaps a bluetooth error. Not sure.

David, tks for the help. I'm working with André and we tried 2different BT adapters in 2different PCs. The (classical) wiimote always syncs after a couple of secs, whilst the wiimote+ doesn't. I believe it is a sync protocol issue in the new version. Anyways, we are returning the wiimote+ tonight :P
