Right, I have just hooked up a patch I am creating which allows waveshaping using wiiremotes, with visual feedback. So far....so good with a cycle wave.

However, at the moment my infrared remote, is acting very strange. It keeps going all over the place, and can go unstable or sometimes be the in the wrong place.

Can you guys think of way I could smooth the data?

smoothing-data-aka-wiiremote

smoothing sensor data (a.k.a filtering) is a bitch.

there are a couple of externals that can help like slide, lbyl (look before

you leap, its in maxobjects) and several others. each does something else,

you have to know your sensor, what r its limits. whats the best

environmental conditions to make it work the best (is there direct light

source other then the wiibar? sunlight? maybe get stronger leds?).

you can also do some averaging (fill a bucket with n samples and Davide by

a good way is to record a sample stream, leave the sensor alone, play and

n)

try to optimize.

this is a nice patch i got from gregory taylor

Another solution is lp.stacey in window mode. There is an example in Litter Extras/X-amples called "Smoothing (Sensor) Data" which, umm, might do what you want.

lp.stacey and the sample patch are in both the Litter Starter Pack and Litter Pro. So there you go. URL below.
