This thread has been very informative - to the point that I recently just soldered my second Wii module. I do have a quick question regarding people's experience. Basically, is the Wii bluetooth module very sensitive to EMI/interference? The reason I ask is this:
- In my living setup, the computer is actually behind a 65" TV. I made the first adapter using the first gen Wii bluetooth module. It worked fairly well, but Wii remote audio was poor and syncing sometimes didn't work so well. Having gotten frustrated, and also thinking that I used too long of a cable (nearly 3ft) in an attempt to have the module/box in front of the TV. I have a lot of stuff on the same TV stand, the TV, Computer, PS4, receiver large centre speaker, Harmony Hub, etc. Lots of radio devices.
- Today, I made a second module with a much shorter cable, though that causes it, at best, to dangle just below the TV.
While syncing, wii motion plus, etc. is all fine, Wii remote speaker audio is still inconsistent. If I am line of site and close, it works very consistently. But even if I move a few feet back, it starts to cut out or get crackly.
Is there some way to add an Antenna wire to to the module? Unfortunately, using a USB extension cable just reintroduces the original issues, in that the audio quality diminishes. d
The fact that it works when close and line of sight suggests the wiring is fine, and I just have a lot of interference in that area. I just don't ever recall the Wii being this sensitive to interference or range issues.
Just to follow up, I've tried using various USB3 extensions, keeping it line of sight, etc. What's most confusing is sometimes it works perfectly, initially, for a few minutes or so, and then it starts to crackle or cut out, with nothing being touched or changed.
