for my own experience, I think is not a reflection problem. I suppose that it's a positionning or environnemental problem. I explain :
I have make my own ir pen, and my white board works perfectly.
few months later, a friend tell me that when he's drawing, the line is not continuous, but made with dots.
I try again now with my "working" pen And I have the same problem !!!
so, it's not due to power reflection of my pen because it's working well in the past.
I need to try few things :
- wiimote positionning,
- environnement lights and reflective surface
- test with differents wiimote (perhaps software updates cause problem)
I don't kown exactly, but the IR power is not, I think, the real problem.
I will investigate in few days. If someone have more information tell us !
