MyRoute-app & BarButtons - control our app using a bluetooth keyboard
-
@Pletse we will definitely support more devices and different keymappings. As we speak a WunderLINQ device is sent to us so we can work on the BMW integration shortly!
A MRA controller is something fun on the side. With the possibility of unique features for MRA. We wonāt create it ourselves, thatās why we are in touch with BarButtons.
-
@Corjan-Meijerink Thank you very much.
In the end, I couldn't wait and bought it.
I got it today. But unfortunately, it is malfunctioning. Button 1 has a clumsy feel to it, it's badly fitted and makes bad contact. When zooming in it instantly zooms in again without pressing it.
I have written to Joost Bijl to see what solution he has and sent him these two videos.
-
@Maicro Joost Bijl has already replied to me. That he is sorry and will send me a new unit. Very thoughtful of him. I have already told him that I pay at least the postage or send him the defective unit.
-
@Maicro happy itās sorted!

Great to see this happening - whatās the latest? Iād love to be able to use my Thork racing āAdventure Controllerā.
Just a view on the Bar Buttons options - they would be fine on road but I think a bit too complex for off road riding. Just a thought.

@Nin in the next public update we will support WunderLINQ and possibly SilverFox too
Never heard of this type device but if they use similar configurations as the previous listed, it should work -
@Corjan-Meijerink tested the improved Barbuttons support in the app today. Brilliant work guys. So many more operations possible within the app now using the buttons. Selection of routes, starting Nav, adjusting route preferences, changing settings etc. Zoom and map panning works great. Thanks guys.
Only thing I noticed was I couldnāt seem to restart a route using Barbuttons after stopping navigation. Is this possible now or will it be?
Still fantastic without though.
-
@Mark-Hamilton-0 hahaha yeah, thatās one of the not compatible menus
-
Thanks @Corjan-Meijerink, Iāll look out for the update and try it out with the controller. Good to know there are options already working though, I might just switch to one of them.

@Corjan-Meijerink do you have an update when to expect the MRA bar button version?
-
@Eric-Minschart Not any time soon! It would however still be the same device as the available BarButtons only with some custom branding / different pricing
We are waiting for some new BarButtons prototypes and then might reconsider it.
-
Maybe this is more something for the person behind barbutton to explore, but this user community could come up with some very useful features like a:
-
"help, i need fuel now" button leading immediately to the nearest petrol station , and then back to the route
-
"zoom to a square of 1 by 1 km and remove anything else from the screen for as long as i keep this button pushed, "
The risk is that we would end up with a 100+ button keyboard
but that could be solved by configuration?In general, tinkering with a keyboard is not a safe option while driving, so to limit the time spent on it I would be interested in complex functions for this barbutton thing that go beyond excecuting basic instructions one by one, and this brings me back to the "speed screen" that I suggested some time ago.

Thanks -

@Sanders-Johnny-1 I met with Joost yesterday and he informed me he is currently processing his order / email backlog! I'm sure you will hear from him shortly.

@Corjan-Meijerink : Hey Corjan,
ich habe auch eine Anfrage an Joost gestellt, aber es stellt sich jetzt doch noch folgende Frage der Kopplung an zwei GerƤte gleichzeitig.Mir stellt sich die Frage der Bluetooth Kopplung des IPhone Xr mit MyRoute-App, mit der Kopplung zum TFT an der GS, geht denn dann auch gleichzeitig die Kopplung mit dem BarButtons System ?
- TFT der R1250GS
- Handy IPhone Xr 17.0.2
- BarButtons Tasten von Joost
Ich mƶchte die MyRoute-App Ansagen Ć¼ber mein Headset hƶren das ist mit dem TFT gekoppelt und gleichzeitig ja das Handy mit dem TFT das geht mittlerweile sehr gut.
Geht dann zusƤtzlich das System BarButtons und alles zusammen funktioniert dann auch ?

@Hubert-Thoring, your phone can handle multiple BT connections simultaneously, no problem. The BarButtons will only connect to one device at a time. So you can use BB on your phone while also having a headset connected and your TFT screen. You can however only use th BB for handling your phone.
-
@Hubert-Thoring yes, that would work!
The BarButtons are just functioning as bluetooth keyboard
