Silverfox H1+ long-press

[Corjan Meijerink]

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!!

[Corjan Meijerink]

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!

[Nick Carthew]

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

@Corjan-Meijerink Riku fron Silverfox sent me a couple of firmware updates to test them and now all buttons short and long-press do work fine.
I've tested it through DMD buttons app, in F2 mode via bluetooth (wich is the setting needed for MuRouteApp) and it returns these codes:
Center (•) short 31, long 32
Minus (-) short 69, long 29
Plus (+) short 70, long 30

Now the only issue seems to be on MyRoute's side, because not all button functions work in all menus and sub-submenus. This is what i've found:

Navigation view:
(•) toggles compass modes
Long (•) skip waypoint
(-) zoom out
Long (-) does nothing [should toggle timer modes?]
(+) zoom in
Long (+) enters menu

Navigation menu:
(-) exits menu

Map view
(•) compass
(-) zoom out
(+) zoom in
Long (+) enters menu

Main menu:
(•) enters item
(-) exits menu
Long (+) also exits menu

Account menu and sub-menus:
(-) exits menu
Long (+) also exits menu

Other menus:
-no enter, no exit (e.g no way to select or to initiate route)
-no way to access back arrow (on top left) nor other top screen items with joystick arrows

Thank you!
