OSCWalker

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

Requirements

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

• VRChat (It was kind of made for... specifically VRChat)
  
• Bluetooth
  
• Uses Pygame (pip install pygame)
  
• Uses python-osc (pip install python-osc)
• Uses Python
  
• Uses WiiBalanceWalker by Shachar Liberman
  

Setup with WiiBalanceWalker

• Run the .EXE file.
• Press the sync/bluetooth button on Wii Balance Board.
• Connect Wii Balance Board to your PC via Bluetooth (Should be labeled starting with "Nintendo").
• When asking for a PIN, press "Add/Remove bluetooth Wii device" button to get your unique PIN code.
• After inputting PIN code, press "Connect to Wii Balance Board" button.
• 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".
• Uncheck "Disable All Actions" checkbox.

Usage

Windows

• Download the zip file by pressing the big green "Code" button, then "Download ZIP".
• Extract the folder and open it.
• While inside the folder, right click empty space and click "Open in Terminal"
• Type and run "python OSCWalker.py"

You may want to run pygame while within VSCode/Codium in order to view terminal logs

Troubleshoot

• Ensure that pygame is installed.
• Ensure that the pygame window is focused.
• Ensure OSC is enabled in the VRChat quick menu.
