HID question

[SRH]

Salutations,

My apologies if this is a repost. It seems the last one was deleted because one of the words was marked as spam? I'm going to try removing the links.
First let me say I have basically no experience or understanding of Bluetooth, so all help and patience is greatly appreciated.

My project is using a Wiimote as a control interface as a color matcher. An Arduino board will be attached to a color sensor, which will in turn be connected to the Wiimote as a custom peripheral (I expect little difficulty here, I've found examples). The Wiimote will communicate over Bluetooth to an Arduino BT board which will send out the information from the peripheral, accelerometers, buttons, etc as color data via the DMX protocol to a light bar. I've tried sample code and we have no difficulty sending DMX information.

The problem is establishing communications between the Arduino BT and the Wiimote. The Wiimote is a bluetooth HID device, and gobs of information on it can be found at the wiili site.

... and more specific Bluetooth info can be found in the Wiimote section of their wiki.

The Arduino BT uses a Bluegiga WT11 as the Bluetooth module. According to the support people it automatically is set up to be an HID client but not an HID host. Apparently one way or another I will need to reprogram it with IWRAP (I'm completely clueless about this) and try to implement the HID host profile on the ATmega168 micro on the Arduino BT board (again, clueless).

Information on the Arduino BT can be found on the Arduino website.

Links to information on the WT11 can be found there as well.

Again, all help on this is greatly appreciated.
