Thanks Peter, I've seen the video really appreciated. I will give it a try tomorrow.

MRA works flawless and much better and cleaner than on my previous AA device. But a BT controller would make the combination just that extra little bit more convenient and safer. I'll wait for Corjan's test before I'll decide.
I have read that previous Silverfox controllers had more input options, such as holding down a button for longer, for example, but I'm curious to read your experiences so far. TIA -

In Waze, Googlemaps it has full functions on both joysticks. Even on Kurviger it had 7 way controls and it states on the website it would be just follow mode and panning. I'm not sure who needs to implement something to address the problem, either Silverfox of MRA.

The C1 Controller has also additional input option like press and hold.
F2 Mode
Control Joystick up => letter 'C' for centering the map
Control Joystick up and hold => letter 'D' extra functions on some appsControl Joystick forward => character '-' and KEY_NUM_MINUS
Control Joystick forward hold + => letter 'A'Control Joystick backward => character '=' and KEY_NUM_PLUS
Control Joystick backward and hold - => letter 'B'Control Joystick downward => letter 'E'
Control Joystick downward and hold => jumps to F1 mode and send letter 'X'I am impressed by the precise operation, also the pressure points of the joystick controller are absolutely top.
But of course I am also curious what Corjan has to say

You are writing, that you are using the cable connection maybe that is causing some problems on your side ?

I can't easily disconnect it to try the C1 with bluetooth on MRA so I will have to wait and see how Corjan gets on when he receives his C1.

Thank you in advance. -

Please, how could you update the Button App? Which version do you have on your device now?

Hi,
We have done integration work with DMD2 app and Firmware update for C1 controller is needed.
After this update, F-mode toggle is implemented by "pinching" the joysticks: The Control (left) joystick to right and The Panning (right) joystick to left.
After this update in F1 mode, you can define all Controller joystick moves (4 of them) into action in DMD2 app. As well the cable connection is now fully supported in DMD2 and Buttons app.
Please follow the link https://www.silverfoxcontrollers.com/c1update for installation instructions.
The update file is attached on this email
Sama suomeksi:
Olemme tehneet integrointityötä DMD2 ohjelman kanssa ja Firmware päivitys C1 ohjaimeen on tarpeen.
Tämän päivityksen jälkeen F-moodit vaihtuu "puristamalla" joystickeja toisiaan kohden: Vasenta oikealle ja Oikeaa vasemmalle.
Päivityksen jälkeen F1 tilassa voit määritellä kaikki 4 suuntaa DMD2 toiminnoiksi. Myös kaapeliyhteys (serial connection) on täysin tuettu DMD2 ja Buttons -ohjelmissa.
Seuraa linkkiä https://www.silverfoxcontrollers.com/c1update
Päivitys tiedosto on liitetiedostona tässä sähköpostissa.
Best Regards

I have the Button App installed as a single app on my Android.
To update the app I have just top open the app and if there ist an update available, the app ist asking me if I want to update. -

But it sounds, the Button app was used on DMD device - therefore I have asked, because on DMD you should not use Playstore for updates.

Thank you in advance.@Kenny-Thierens @Peter-Zehentreiter confirmed it worked as expected! So I trust that is the case
I did receive the new SilverFox controller but have not yet connected it to power. Hopefully I get around doing that next week.
