Wiimote example programs

Question

I'd like to use the Wiimote (accelerometers, gyroscopes, infrared camera, etc, etc, etc) on various applications.

It's a bluetooth device, and I know others have connected it to their computer.

• What's the easiest way to start using it in my software - are there libraries for C#, for instance?
• I want my software to be usable and easily installable - what's the current easiest way to connect a wiimote to the computer? Can I make that process part of my software installation?

Have you seen Johnny Chung Lee's 'Procrastineering' Blog? He's written a lot on the subject of using wii remotes and has some fantastic demonstration videos. [Edit] I just found out Mr Lee did a TED talk which gives a good introduction to the stuff he's done too...

There's a wealth of information over on Wiibrew.org - check out their Wiimote Library page for some other APIs if you want to look beyond c#. As an avid Python fan, I'm quite curious to have a play with the pyWiimote library :-)
