MyRoute-app & BarButtons - control our app using a bluetooth keyboard

[Corjan Meijerink]

BarButtons also experimented with a minimal version!

It's all work in progress and a ongoing process!
We are excited to share the current progress and look forward to the community input.

@Corjan-Meijerink That seems a very good concept

To reply to myself: I found it...
Button one in keymap 3 seems to send a "=" not a "+"
I'll notify Joost.

You can count me in for the Branded MRA Version.

[Con Hennekens]

To reply again on myself
Joost informed me that BarButtons needs the preview of V3 firmware to work with MRA. After upgrading the firmware I can completely work along with @Corjan-Meijerink's great demo.

I found 2 problems though:

• Through the buttons I can open the drawer and navigate to the routes menu. from there buttons don't work, so you cannot select a route.
• The new menu's that are introduced in this last beta update, can also not be navigated by buttons.

I deleted my previous post with the keymaps, because they will only bring confusion.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Con-Hennekens I believe our BarButtons run the preview version! https://jaxeadv.com/barbuttons/barbuttons-user-guide-preview/

[Con Hennekens]

@Corjan-Meijerink, yes, that must be so. But exactly the points I made, you left them out of the review It doesn't work on my side, I assume it will not work on yours.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Con-Hennekens good point!

Relive the good old times

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Jack-van-Tilburg Wow! That's a nice relic

[Con Hennekens]

@Corjan-Meijerink, take a look at the SPEAK button. It repeats the last voice instruction I knew i did not think that up myself, when suggesting a similar feature

When I saw the video yesterday: https://youtu.be/YH_JCfabwI0

The first thing I said: Oh my god!

This is what I have always longed to have to control MRA and not have to touch the screen.

I was actually going to purchase it but, after reading this thread, I have my doubts. The minimalist version looks wonderful.

Must-haves for me:
-Skip next Waypoint
-Zoom.

@Corjan-Meijerink, please what do you advise, wait for your version or buy it now?

Thank you very much for your excellent work.

[Jörgen]

Same for me, I would like to get it asap, but not sure to buy now or to wait? What is the recommendation?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Maicro Happy to hear your enthusiasm! This is exactly why we are looking into these integrations.

To answer your questions (and @Jörgen), given the price I’d buy it now if you are enthusiastic. The product might be redesigned or get a custom branding but feature wise it won’t change a lot!

@Maicro skipping waypoint is possible already! See demo video. It’s a long press on a button. Zooming works too! However when navigating the camera stops following you when you changed the zoom. This is however a feature that will be added in the app!

@Corjan-Meijerink said in MyRoute-app & BarButtons - control our app using a bluetooth keyboard:

The product might be redesigned...

I have seen the pics with the smaller versions, which i would prefer. Did you get any Informations about an Release date? I definitely want to use this keyboard this season.

greetings
Ronni

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Ronni we don’t have any information about this. It’s all about prototyping and brainstorming now
However, if there would be a MRA branded version, I’d guess that will be available around the release of the the app.

@Corjan-Meijerink ok. thx.
