Silverfox H1+ long-press

[Quim N]

Hi, I'm using Silvergox H1+ on a DMD tablet to control MRA. I use F2 set via Bluetooth as suggested by SFox and it works quite well. The only unconfortable issue happens when I long-press (·) button to skip waypoint, because when I do so the app alternates between compass modes many times (it repeats the single-press function) before it actually skips the waypoint.

I've contacted Riku from SFox and they say this may be up to how MRA implement the function in their code. Besides this, they say that they will check their firmware too.

What is MRA position on this? May I do something to improve it via configuration options?

Thanks!

Hello, I recognised the same thing with Silverfox B8J.

It's indeed a possible discussion between MRA and the supplier.

The answer is simple: SilverFox emits both the short press and long signal when long pressing. As you long press you get:

• Short press: clicked
• Long press: clicked
• Long press: released
• Short press: released

In my opinion the firmware should not emit the short press when it becomes a long press (that's just industry standard really).
SilverFox could argue that we need to cancel the short press when detecting a long press - theoretically possible but annoying with our framework and against my vision that it's a firmware issue

@Corjan-Meijerink That makes sense. I'll copy it to Silverfox, maybe they can take this into account and update their firmware.
Thanks!!

That's fine!
I'm quite well in touch with Riku too so feel free to mention he can contact me

@Quim-N it's the same issue with the C1 controller so if you can mention it too, that would be awesome

[Nick Carthew]

@Quim-N And you may as well mention the B8J to Riku too as this has the same issue.

[Quim N]

Sent Corjan answer to Riku, and mentioned B8J and C1 common problem too. Thanks!

Thanks @Quim-N
It doesn't really bother me, I just tap the compass button twice and return to Dynamic view.

@Nick-Carthew it would be nice if Riku and Corjan could fix the problem. Meanwhile I’m a happy click Guy. Like you said enoying but that’s all

[Corjan Meijerink]

I'm already emailing with Riku about this

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@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
