New wiimotes incorrectly report zero position IR data initially

[hifi]

While working on a project that uses the raw IR data from the Wii remote I noticed the initial values of the IR sensors are zeroed out (0x0x0) instead of set to off-screen values (1023x1023x0).

This can be tested with xwiishow when powering on the controller and looking at the data before any IR light has been seen. The values are one-by-one corrected from 0000x0000 to N/A when IR light comes and goes.

I had to add a special case of ignoring the zero position of all sensors as it was causing issues.

This is an actual bug. I think that possible workaround for now it to check that values aren't zeros too (doesn't look like a big loss anyways).

"I had to add a special case of ignoring the zero position of all sensors as it was causing issues."
May I ask how this was done? I am having the same issue and it seems that this would be the only fix.

There's nothing special to it, just ignore values that are zero in your code and assume it's offscreen.
