I had my first major problem with OSCulator yesterday: constant signal dropouts. At least every 30 seconds or so, I would lose either a nunchuk signal, or the Wii remote signal altogether. What was strange was that it was happening to both Wii remote/nunchuk setups alternately and OSCulator was showing them as still being connected - just not getting any change in values. Pressing the red reset button in the battery cavity fixed the problem, but only temporarily.
I have been using this setup for a few weeks now, with almost no dropouts at all. I haven't made any system changes/updates of note and the only thing that was different yesterday was the room I was in. It was still a similar size, just not one I had setup in before.
It's this last point that made me wonder if different spaces can affect Bluetooth signal? Do building materials change the strength of a signal? I asked everyone to turn off Bluetooth in their mobiles, so as far as I could tell, there was little Bluetooth traffic to confuse matters.
I haven't yet tried again in the space I usually use to check if everything will work correctly there again, but in the meantime thought I'd see if anyone else has had similar experiences.
Setup: MacBook Pro | OS X 10.5.8 | OSCulator 2.8.8 | Processing 1.0.7 | Live 8.0.5
