tracking utilization

Hello,
I am new to this project.
I have setup the wiimote and can use my PC screen as a touch screen. For the first few mins the every thing is fine and the tracking is very accurate. After a few mins the accuracy falls.
The tracking utilization is 9%.
WIN XPWiimote Smoothboard
Any ideas?
Cheers
Bobby

Its a game the little grey image at the bottom of the main menu in Smoothboard your aim is to make the little white square (if you are only getting 9% tracking utilisation it will be little) as big as possible.
The next problem is to make sure you are not knocking your Wiimote or often i find when i use my LCD screen knocking your screen. Even a small movement will throw the calibration out.

Hi benpaddlejones,
Thanks alot for the reply.
I see the problem with me knocking the LCD screen. So the board / screen must be fixed?

Depends, I don't need to fix mine but I do need to fix my laptop screen (usually a thick book behind). How mobile is your screen?
I would suggest just using lighter actions unless your screen is very mobile. I would also suggest if you consider prolonged usage buying a large screen protector on ebay to prevent scratching your nice LCD screen to bits.

Watch out, the Globes for the older models cost more than the whole unit. Plus they are very sensitive to heat change and movement.
I regularly check ebay here in OZ and am yet to see anything worth while. I think they will come down marketably over the next six months as larger LCD TV's become more affordable and require less setup.
