Permanent power insert

We note that a couple of other sellers are now offering mains power options for the wiimote. This is good as the only way to usefully set your wiimote up permanently is to mains power it.

However, it is worth noting that the 3pi insert is the only purpose designed and built option available. Using a rebranded rechargeable battery insert for this purpose is looking for trouble in the long term - they are simply not designed to be permanetly plugged in and the low quality batteries in them are a hazard.

Mains power

We have another really useful piece of equipment to add to the 3Pi catalogue.

Our new insert allows you to run the wiimote permanently from mains power.

It is the result of a detailed and extensive design and testing programme and we are confident that it is simply the best solution available for powering the wiimote.

The insert clips into the wiimote in place of the battery cover. Inside, the electronics ensure that the wiimote receives a nice steady 2.9vdc which is perfect for reliable, long term performance.

The insert also features a moulded thread in the standard 1/4 20 thread size to make mounting it a breeze. We at 3Pi are really excited about this part of our kit, because along with our remote synch button, it solves another issue in making this system practical for classroom teachers.
