[maxmsp] aka.wiiremote IR workaround for OS X

for others not able to get IR data working with the aka.wiiremote  
object:

in order to get around the limitations of the [aka.wiiremote] object  
not being able to track IR on a G4 laptop
I DL'd and set up OSCulator (OS X only)
http://www.osculator.net/wiki/Main/Download

the OSCulator app sends data on port 8000 (default)
which I pick up with:

[udpreceive 8000]->[OpenSoundControl]->[strtok /]->[sprintf]

I'm still working on building out the patch to massage the list data
but this has been slow-going since being on the road and busy with  
other non-Max programming projects for most of this year has left my  
Max skills somewhat rusted

so I'm still poking at the sprintf object trying to format incoming  
string data

**[BTW: it would SO handy if someone would put together a  
comprehensive .help file and/or a rigorous online tutorial for the  
sprintf object]

but I've done some preliminary testing using two candles and a wii  
remote
controlling a pictslider knob with IR data
and it seems to work well

hope this helps someone

Cheers!
KIM
