I have my WiiMote and DIY 3 points clip working great. The only issue is that FreeTrack doesn't seem to detect my movements.

I have three. Two are some generic brand, one is a GBU421.
I'll try them all and see if it makes a difference.

Also, I'm using default Microsoft stack.

EDIT: Whether i use $1 BT or the $20 one, it still says 30 FPS and the head doesn't move.

I think the problem is your BT stack, try with Bluesoleil, mine is 5.4.277.0 and is working fine with my Wiimote.
I have Win7 x64 too.

Try my IVT Bluesoleil installation CD (.iso file): http://rapidshare.com/files/411709121/IVT_5.4.277.0.rar.html

How did you connect your Wiimote to BT dongle?

See this page for working BT devices with the Wiimote: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/List_of_Working_Bluetooth_Devices

Here is mine for caps,

No more SFH485P (no more in stock available), but these one seems very powerful (see listing under) IR --> 375mW/sr @ 250mA.I use USB cable connected to a box with 4 AA battery with USB connector.

..I then used WiiMote system for FPS  :lol:

I tried changing BT stacks. Using BlueSoleil, works great now except for the annoying nag messages every 5 minutes or so. I don't understand why the Microsoft BT stack can't utilize the WiiMote properly.

Which message? Is that for the 6.5 bluesoleil update? If yes go on Classical view --> Bluetooth --> Property... --> advanced, then uncheck auto-update.

It can, but I don't think FreeTrack can utilize the Microsoft stack properly. Something about not polling the battery. (I couldn't even get Freetrack to work with the MS stack.)

Looking into providing a fix for this, provided I find a way to recompile the Freetrack code.
