Yes via Bluetooth

What do the buttons show as "output" when going to this site: https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/keypress-tester/

• Open the website
• Connect SilverFox
• Press buttons

I am curious what the panning joystick (the one that does not work) outputs in F2 mode.

It's a bit weird.
In F2, only button 2 (the one working with MRA) sends characters to that web site. Button 1 clicks are not registered on the Web site.

In F1 none of the buttons register anything. But as mentioned previously, both buttons work fine in F1 with Waze. So the C1 does send some keys in F1 mode, but these are not registered on the Web site.

@Makro Hi Marco,
I have a different problem with my C1 controller (the first joystick doesn't work when zooming out)
All other tasks are performing perfectly.
The second panning stick works in all directions.
I also think that MRA could be the source of the problem.

I have a ticket on this and Corjan knows my case.

I have documented all clicks with the two sticks as screenshots and stored them in the ticket.

Maybe you can also take screenshots of the respective clicks and send them to Corjan.

Maybe Corjan can narrow down the error and fix it.

I just realized how to fix this. Well not entirely.

The SilverFox Buttons app say I need to enable the accessibility service in Android. So I did this before testing MRA. If I had not done so, MRA would work fine.
This is located in Settings, accessibility, installed apps, Controller Accessibility.
Enabling this has some implications. MRA does not work properly, and the onscreen web key logger (Corjans link) does not register all clicks.

So I can use either Buttons app or MRA, but not both. Unless I change the accessibility setting in between.

[Corjan Meijerink]

So disabling that Android setting was the fix? Now it works as expected?

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Corjan-Meijerink The Button App is needed, for example, using Google Maps in F1 mode. When I have the Button App installed, MRA generally works incorrectly.
Riku knows this and referred me to the DMD forum...but unfortunately, no one there answers...Riku himself contacted the DMD forum, and Joao told him he'd like to look into the topic sometime...that was about two months ago.
I don't have the Button App installed anymore, and as I said, everything works (only zooming out doesn't work).

If you contact SIlverfox you can get the latest firmware which is still in testing fase. I did that and everything works.

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Arjan-de-Vries Firmware update 1.2 already done, I even received a replacement unit from SilverFox. Unfortunately, zooming out is still not possible.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Peter-Zehentreiter last week I received update 1.6 from Riku

[Peter Zehentreiter]

@Marinus-van-Deudekom I find it hard to believe the problem is with the C1 controller. Riku thoroughly tested the replacement device for functionality before sending it to me. The controller works even when I use other apps with it.
Only zooming out in MRA doesn't work.

Centering the map, switching to different modes, skipping waypoints, zooming in, everything works. Moving the map... all without problems. As already mentioned... I've created a ticket and hope Corjan will find the error.

What does the 1.6 do instead of the 1.2?

[Arjan de Vries]

C1 has 1.2 update
H1 has 1.6

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Arjan-de-Vries in the readme 1.6 said it was suitable for all Silverfox remotes

I asked Riku from silverfox. He told me this.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Arjan-de-Vries Riku knows best

I have been in contact with SilverFox. I described the issue. They are aware of it.
It is something to do with the Buttons app, unfortunately. It is developed and administered by DMD/Thork Racing, but SilverFox are in the early stages of developing their own app.

So, for now I will have to decide if I want the controller to be Waze/Maps or MRA compatible, before I start riding.

What do you do before riding?
I have the T865X and the C1. It disconnects every time i turn of the engine. After starting again, the connection will not happen. I have to remove the C1 through the settings en reconnect again. Any ideas?

You have another setup than I do. Your Silverfox is wired to your tablet for both power and data, while mine uses Bluetooth to my tablet for data. Apparantly that changes how things work.
