I wrote "compatible" because not all of them are able to detect and connect to the WiiMote. I recommend Linksys, USB... more details on the post. To run Wiinstrument you don't need a sensor... the Wii bar, since it only uses the accelerometers. Now, if you want to run other stuff like Multipoint Grid and GlovePie (which emulates mouse), you will need the sensors because these apps use the infrared cam from the WiiMote. It's not absolutely necessary for it to be the Wii sensor bar.. but you'll need at least 2 infrared leds or 2 infrared light sources... which is why the candle trick works: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5ZpMnkR7TQ" title="Wii Candles" rel="nofollow">Here's an example on YouTube</a> Any other doubts, just leave a comment! :D Some more doubts came up, and I’m answering to them:
