Stray infrared light can cause problems with the wiimote whiteboard.Strong sunlight is the most common culprit, but another source that can be annoying is fluorescent lights.
These type of lights are very common in classrooms and offices - exactly the same
environments that the wiimote is usually found in!
The symptons of this type of interference often include difficulty in calibrating, the cursor jumping around and programmes opening by themselves. Our 3Pi term for this is "crazy mouse"!
There are two easy things that you can do to stop this problem:
1. Open the software control panel and reduce the sensitivity settings (by default they are set
fairly high). Make sure that you are using a quality ir pen with a fresh battery that can be
tracked at the new, lower sensitivity setting.
2. Turn those lights off!
