[PD] Fwd: Re: wiimote crashes with moderate cpu load and/or heavy USB transfer

[Richie Cyngler]

I'm not using a Pd object for this. I'm using third party software to read
the bluetooth signal from the wiimote. Then I use the mrpeach lib. in Pd.

I was running a usb soundcard and getting dropouts all the time. In fact the
bluetooth was failing and I had to hard reset to restore the bluetooth,
normal restarts wouldn't even fix it.

I couldn't figure it out for a long time. Then I found out that the
bluetooth in my macbook is powered by the USB bus, so the USB was
interfering with the Bluetooth.

I changed to a firewire soundcard and the dropouts went away. So it seems I
can't use USB devices and bluetooth at the same time.

Hope this is of some use to you.

cheers

Richie
