Greetings all,

Has anyone encountered issues with the wiimote external (pd-extended 0.42 on 8.10 Ubuntu 2.6.29-rc6-rt kernel) when using "rumble" and/or LED commands? The system appears to be rock solid in terms of audio latency (thanks to the rt kernel) until I use one (or both) of the aforesaid features. As soon as rumble and/or LED are enabled, I get xruns practically every other millisecond reported by Pd (red button on the main Pd window). JACK shows no xruns. The wiimote has a few other minor bugs (e.g. disabling accelerometer monitoring does not actually work which is I guess no biggie).

I guess I could try to run wiimote in an non-rt instance of Pd next to the rt instance processing audio, but before I take that route I was wondering if I had possibly missed something or if there is a simpler way.

Best wishes,
