Is the TI Bluetooth SensorTag supported by OSCulator? I love my Wiimotes, but I am looking to add something smaller, and this thing looks awesome for my needs.

Hi,
It looks like a terrific little device, thanks for the suggestion!
OSCulator does not support this device, but I'd love to support it in the future.
This device uses Bluetooth Smart 4.0, and I can't find exactly which Macs are compatible with it.
Apple added support for Bluetooth 4.0 in Mac OS X Lion 10.7, but I think it was meant to ease the use of Bluetooth 4.0 in the iOS simulator (so you can test applications written for iOS on your Mac), also you need a specific dongle since the local bluetooth adapter does not support BLE.
If I find anything about this I will let you know, in the meantime I am waiting for the Sensor Tag, I just ordered it.
Best,
Cam

Tip for knowing if your Mac supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE
Here is a tip I got from a friend about how to know if your Mac supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE:
- Click on the Apple menu and choose "About This Mac"
- Click on "More Info..."
- Click on "System Report..."
- In the system report, choose the Bluetooth category
- Read what's under the LMP Version string (mine is 0x6)
- Go to this bluetooth.org website and check your LMP Version.
This basically tells you that LMP Version 0x6 is Bluetooth 4.0 LE and anything under does not support it.
