I haven't had a chance to do a lot of testing on this yet, but it appears that [wiimote] crashes intermittently when there is moderate CPU load on the system...or...it could also be related to heavy USB usage from other devices (2 cameras). In any case, I thought I'd see if this is a known problem not unique to me before I dig too deep. I tried moving the cameras to another Pd instance so they would be on a different core of the CPU. It might have slowed the crashing but it didn't solve it.
Even with no other CPU load or USB usage of other devices, it appears to crash occasionally...
Ubuntu 10.10 [wiimote] from the binaries of /reduzierer/rdz...
