@Corjan-Meijerink I know you do all you can to fix problems. In this case I’d say It takes twi to tango.
Keep up you excellent work

@Corjan-Meijerink Riku fron Silverfox sent me a couple of firmware updates to test them and now all buttons short and long-press do work fine.
I've tested it through DMD buttons app, in F2 mode via bluetooth (wich is the setting needed for MuRouteApp) and it returns these codes:
Center (•) short 31, long 32
Minus (-) short 69, long 29
Plus (+) short 70, long 30

Now the only issue seems to be on MyRoute's side, because not all button functions work in all menus and sub-submenus. This is what i've found:

Navigation view:
(•) toggles compass modes
Long (•) skip waypoint
(-) zoom out
Long (-) does nothing [should toggle timer modes?]
(+) zoom in
Long (+) enters menu

Navigation menu:
(-) exits menu

Map view
(•) compass
(-) zoom out
(+) zoom in
Long (+) enters menu

Main menu:
(•) enters item
(-) exits menu
Long (+) also exits menu

Account menu and sub-menus:
(-) exits menu
Long (+) also exits menu

Other menus:
-no enter, no exit (e.g no way to select or to initiate route)
-no way to access back arrow (on top left) nor other top screen items with joystick arrows

Thank you!

The new firmware is indeed working correct! Resolving the issue of long pressing also submitting a short press function Nice that Riku fixed it that quickly!

I will confirm that we support the new firmware. He will then probably update it on his website for others to download. I could not find any issues in our app apart from the fact that we don't offer full app support for bluetooth controllers.

@Corjan-Meijerink I understand there is no need, and may be rather dangerous, to navigate all menus through a bluetooth controller, but could it be possible just to associate (-)button long-press to toggle timer modes? It is the only function I fount not working with Silverfox in navigation mode.

Thanks!

I've had contact with Riku from Silverfox. On my request he made an update for the H1 trying to solve the long press issue. Unfortunately something went wrong on his side witch makes the update unable to use. He will come back to me once the problem is solved. I did not want to take the chance of my upcoming trip to be spoild

@Quim-N I just tested the C1 in navigation mode to toggle the ETA and that works as expected. I assume it works with all SilverFox controllers.

Are you actually driving a route with waypoints? Otherwise the function just does not work on MRA side

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink Yes but for the H1 the update was not applicable. It seems that the update will cause serious problems to the controller that can only be resolved with the developers tools, witch we don't.
That's what Riku told me regarding the H1 controller

@Marinus-van-Deudekom how is this relevant to my comment?

[Nick Carthew]

@Corjan-Meijerink Do you know if Riku will be making the updated firmware available publicly? I’ve just checked the SilverFox website and I couldn’t see any updates.
As you know, I have the B8J and although the longpress triggering the short press command doesn’t really bother me, but if there was an easy fix by updating the firmware I’d like to be able to do it.

Cancel this request, I’ve just read your new update post

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink I just repeated the warning I received from Riku and he concluded that the C1 and H1 react different on the update

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Nick-Carthew you still need the firmware from SilverFox. For sure he’ll distribute it when ready for all controllers.
