Yeah, this is probably the problem. For some reason GUI objects seem to eat up a large amount of CPU usage. Once you've asserted just what input you're getting (Wiimote tends to come between 0 and 1) remove any number boxes, sliders, etc which are displaying your wiimote input. If you need this then you could display the data through GEM, which for some reason uses less processing power<div><br></div><div>Andrew<br><br>> Date: Fri, 28 May 2010 12:59:17 -0400<br>> From: martin.peach@sympatico.ca<br>> To: scossar@telus.net<br>> CC: pd-list@iem.at<br>> Subject: Re: [PD] wii controller<br>> <br>> Simon Cossar wrote:<br>> > Hello list - I'm trying to control pd (0.41.4) with a wiimote and nunchuk. I'm routing the wiimote through Osculator, then using [import mrpeach] [udpreceive 9000] [unpackOSC] and a series of routeOSC objects.
