Band Hero Wii Drums

[Rowie]

So I've got the Band Hero drums for the Wii and want to play with them on frets on fire.
I connected the Wiimote with my bluetooth on my pc, ran GlovePie and the first led glowed.
So I started FoF but my pads and pedal didnt response. And a few seconds after the WiiMote connected it went off. I tried it over and over again but still got the same issue. So could anyone help me?
Thanks

I don't think the band hero drums work with glove pie at this moment

[Rowie]

So I need another script or so? And what do you mean with 'at this moment' ?

[23rootbeer]

Yeah I meant no one has made a working script for it "yet".
Well I did "thorough" research to your problem. The reason the led on the wii remote turns off is because when you connect the drums, it looks for signals from the drums, and ignores the wii remote. It sees the drums as a separate controller entirely. Hence the lights go out.
This is a post of a guy who made a "breakthrough" on a script, but no drum pedal.

I'm new at programming for glovepie (or anything) and I just bought band hero thinking I could use the drums to create a drum kit. I noticed when I tried to assign a command to a part of the drum it wouldn't respond. If i assigned it to the corresponding part of the guitar it would work though. And I could not find the command to make the foot pedal work.

for example:

CODE: SELECT ALL
"midi.csharp4 = wiiguitar.orange
midi.e3 = WiiGuitar1.red
midi.c4 = wiiguitar.yellow
midi.b3 = wiiguitar.green
midi.dsharp4 = wiiguitar.blue"


will end up equaling

CODE: SELECT ALL
"midi.csharp4 = wiidrum.orange
midi.e3 = Wiidrum.red
midi.c4 = wiidrum.blue
midi.b3 = wiidrum.green
midi.dsharp4 = wiidrum.yellow"


Am I doing something wrong or is it the program. Thanks for the help.

I'll take a look if it will work.
Anyway thank you so much for helping me with this, because I have this problem for quite a long time. So maybe it will work

Okay so I tried it with this script but now when I run GloviePie the led's just keep flashing and won't respond.

Also, the drums are supposed to read differently if you connect it before you start the program, and when you connect it after you run the program. Something I read.
If I had a Band Hero Set, I would have a way better shot at figuring it out, I have a feeling that it is possible, but would take some research for the right coding.

Okay so I've finally got my drums working. So what I did was just got the Wiimote out of the drum control panel thing and connected it. Once it was connected I plugged it in. And it worked :D

But my bass pedal doesn't work and for some reason aren't my songs sync'd. The music comes later then the notes. And I've no idea how to set that

Forgot to say that i can't play fast many notes on a pad. So :P

the band hero drums pedal wont work, unless you can find what note it produces and add that in a script.
go to the game settings and then the audio settings and set a/v sync time to fix your lag problem. I would say that you can ignore the pedal problem, if your just playing for fun.
Also in the software fofix, similar to frets on fire, there is an "assist" you can enable which will play the bass pedal for you.

Okay thanks for helping me with everything. :D
