Hi!
There have already been a couple blogs about musical applications for the Wiimote on the mac from populus and ricemutt but I thought I'd blog a PC Wiimote tutorial and share my script which maps the the Wiimote to midi notes/ccs etc. Also, this script allows the use of the nunchuk peripheral and the classic controller as well as the Wiimote itself.
First of all to use my script you shall need the following :
Wiimote
Wii Nunchuk (optional)
Wii Classic Controller (optional)
A Bluetooth adapter for your PC
BlueSoleil Software (likely bundled with your bluetooth adapter)
GlovePIE software
And any app which accepts MIDI input.
My Script *updated*
Settting it Up...
1 - Start the BlueSoleil software.
2 - On your Wiimote press the 1 + 2 buttons. The leds at the bottom will now start to flash.
3 - In BlueSoleil, press the red 'sun' in the middle of the window, hopefully bluesoleil should find your wii remote (NINTENDO RVL-CNT-01).
4 - Once the device is found, right click on its icon in BlueSoleil and select 'Refresh Services'. If this fails make sure your Wiimotes leds are still flashing, if not press the 1 + 2 buttons again.
5 - Bluesoleil should have found a 'Human Interface Device' service and the mouse icon in BlueSoleil should have a square around it. Right click on this or the Wiimote icon and select 'Connect'.
6 - Once the Wiimote is connected to BlueSoleil, start the GlovePIE software and load my script.
7 - In GlovePIE under the 'CP-Settings' menu, click on the 'MIDI' item and set your default midi device to the MIDI device you would like to output to.
8 - Under the same menu, click the 'Wiimote Calibration' item and calibrate your Wiimote.
9 - Press the 'Run' button in the main GlovePIE window to execute the script. If all is well the leds on your Wiimote should stop flashing and 1 and 4 leds should be illuminated.
About the script
My script is just a general purpose one to get you started with the Wiimote. On the Wiimote the buttons are mapped as follows :
Wiimote A,B,DPad Up,Down,Left,Right,1,2 : Midi Notes
Wiimote + and - buttons : Program Change Up/Down
Wiimote Home button : Enable/Disable CCs
Wiimote X,Y,Z : MIDI CCs 10,11 and 12
Nunchuk C and Z buttons : Midi Notes
Nunchuk X,Y,Z : MIDI CCs 20,21 and 22
Nunchuk analog stick : MIDI CCs 23 and 24
Classic Controller buttons A,B,X,Y,ZL,ZR,L,R,-,+,Home,1 and 2 - Midi Notes
Classic Controller analog stick 1 : Midi CCs 20 and 21
Classic Controller analog stick 2 : Midi CCs 22 and 23
...Enjoy!

noticed a bug with multiple note-ons being sent from the classic controller. fixed. now noticed the script has some preformance issues when using the nunchuk or classic controller. i made a note in the script but i fear that this will not be fixed until GlovePIE is updated...i'm trying to optimise the script in the meantime tho...
get the updated script here

Note :
This script has some performance problems when using the nunchuk or classic
controller. The result is some note-ons may be lost. Hit the wiimote 'home'
button to disable CC processing if this occurs. Hopefully this problem will be
resolved in a future release of GlovePIE.
