OSCWalker

Extremely simple program that allows to track inputs from a Wii Balance Board into steps in VRChat using OSC.

Windows Defender Screen

The application has to detect inputs at all times and while the window is unfocused in order to ensure movement reliability.
Because of this, Windows Defender gets a bit scared, as there is an application that is "technically recording all inputs".
While this is "technically true", none of these inputs gets saved anywhere. Have a look at the code. It's only checking if certain buttons are pressed.

Requirements

Currently only works/tested with Windows. Have not tested with Linux, and I am not 100% certain that WiiBalanceWalker works on Linux.

Confirm connection by stepping on and off, and seeing if values change.
After connection, set ALL actions under the "Actions" tab to "Do Nothing"
Set action "Left" to "Key F13" and "Right" to "Key F14".
