Remotek-one firmware 2.0.0

[Hubert Thoring]

Hello everyone,
I've been using the Remotek One with an iPhone Xr for a while, and it still has version 1.x.x.

With the new MRA version from V4.3.6 it works very well now, and skipping WP now works with my solution.

Important: Under Settings on the iPhone!!

• Under: Accessibility \ Keyboards & text input \ set the keyboard control to "Off". Otherwise I have the problem that the MRA crashes outside of navigation. But with the setting selected here to "Off" it always works very well.

With the MRA input setting, then as a Remotek One, the following works very well, but you have to make sure that the BT Remotek One keyboard is set to iOS, i.e. press the two arrow keys at the top and bottom together and wait to see if it flashes red and green for iOS. If it's green and green you have to repeat it again and then the red and green flashes briefly. "red, green stands for BT button as iOS" because "green, green stands for BT button as Android.

Result of my application in the MRA navigation under iOS:

• Arrows "left, right, up, down," pan over the map.
• Arrow "+" / "-" corresponds to zooming
• Arrow DC right, click twice quickly then release, = skip WP.
• and other functions which I will describe separately....

The correctly selected basic settings are important, if the above does not work, the BT keyboard must be reset once by pressing "arrow up, and + and -" at the same time for more than 5 seconds until it flashes red. Then delete the pairing under BT in the iPhone and pair it again on the iPhone. Then set it up for iOS as described above, etc.

Good luck, I am very happy with my iOS solution.
Best wishes from Münster

Hallo zusammen,
ich hab ja schon länger das Remotek One mit einem iPhone Xr im Einsatz, dieses immer noch mit der Version 1.x.x.

Mit der neuen MRA Version ab V4.3.6 geht es jetzt sehr gut, auch das WP überspringen geht jetzt mit meiner Lösung.

Wichtig: Unter Einstellungen am iPhone !!

• Unter : Bedienhilfen \ Tastaturen & Texteingabe \ die Tastatursteuerung auf "Aus" zu stellen. Ich habe sonst das Problem das die MRA außerhalb der Navigation abstürzt. Mit der aber hier gewählten Einstellung auf "Aus" geht es immer sehr gut.

Bei der MRA Eingabeeinstellung, dann als Remotek One geht folgendes sehr gut, dabei ist aber darauf zu achten das die BT Remotek One Tastatur auf iOS steht heißt, die zwei Pfeiltaste oben unten zusammen drücken und warten ob es kurz rot, grün für iOS blinkt, bei grün, grün muss man es noch einmal wiederholen dann kommt das kurz rot, grün blinken. "rot, grün steht für BT Taste als iOS" denn "grün, grün steht für BT Taste als Android.

Ergebnis bei meiner Anwendung in der MRA Navigation unter iOS:

• Pfeile "links, rechts, oben, unter," über die Karte schwenken.
• Pfeil "+" / "-" entspricht dem Zoomen
• Pfeil DC rechts, zwei mal kurz klick dann loslassen, = WP überspringen.
• und weitere Funktionen die beschreibe ich aber separat....

Wichtig sind die richtig gewählten Grundeinstellungen, wenn das oben beschriebene nicht gehen sollte muss die BT Tastatur einmal resettet werden indem man "Pfeil oben, und + und - " gleichzeitig für mehr als 5sek. drückt, bis es rot blinkt. Danach auch die Kopplung unter BT im iPhone löschen und neu am iPhone koppeln. Danach dann wie oben beschrieben für iOS einstellen usw.

Viel Erfolg, ich bin für meine iOS Lösung damit sehr zufrieden.

@Hubert-Thoring thank you for the info, I will test it with my backup phone which is an old Iphone. Currently my main solution for MRA is an Android phone and it works fine with 1.xx firmware. My question was triggered by the info that 2.xx is now supported by MRA, I wanted to check it.

@Stanisław There is a Remotek Firmware 2.1 in beta at the moment and the DC functionality works correctly as previously stated in the MRA Support Area.

[Stanisław]

@Dave-J-0 Where is it accessible? I can see nothing more then 2.0 in the remotek application nor on www.remotek.no website.

[Dave J 0]

@Stanisław There was a mention recently on Remotek Facebook saying about the new firmware and about gaining access to the new firmware beta if you wanted to test.

@Dave-J-0 Yes, I have already found it on FB, thanks!

For your information:
This now works as described in the appendix, after the new MRA update V 4.3.6 with the Remotek One V 1.1.2.

Thanks for this @Corjan-Meijerink , a translation into English will be provided later.

@Corjan-Meijerink :
How can I upload a file as a PDF here?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Hubert-Thoring pdf is not possible.
Glad it all works as intended

I tested Remotek-one yesterday with new android tablet and +/- buttons don't work properly, no zoom but panning instead of it. Tested with both 2.1 and 1.1.2 firmware versions, with the phone the same. Could anyone confirm that it is a problem of the new version of MRA?

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Stanisław Have you selected Remotek One as input device in MRA?

[Stanisław]

@Corjan-Meijerink yes, of course, and before it worked correctly with firmware 1.1.2. What's more - zooming does work on initial screen with the map but not in the navigation mode, that's why I suppose it can be related to the recent changes in the app.

[Corjan Meijerink]

@Stanisław hmm no clue then.
As discussed in this thread, it all worked as intended and we haven’t changed anything regarding this.

Maybe @Hubert-Thoring can test his.

@Corjan-Meijerink

So, everything is going very well for me since the V4.3.6 also more than zooming and panning the map, the same applies to the latest app V4.3.8 still exactly as described in the previous list here in the thread.

Note: I use iOS with an iPhone Xr with the old Remotek One version 1.x.x as delivered in 6.6.2024. I have no indication of the version, for that I would need an Android phone and the Remotek One app which is not available for iOS.

Important: with iOS iPhone mobile phone

• Keyboard Control Off

• Input keyboard on Remotek

• Set Remotek One to iOS

I can only give my support for iOS / iPhone application.

Best regards Hubert

Here's a video, for a better view, it works more than well for me

[Stanisław]

@Hubert-Thoring Thank you for the video. I have checked once more and found the reason, I have just uninstalled the Remotek application now and it started to work - I mean zoom. What's more, in this case right doubleclick works as skip next waypoint, with application installed it was covered by switching to another application, set up in the settings. So it is almost good now. The only problem I can see is switching to the top view mode by zooming or panning. It is quite strange and afterwords I can not go back to the dynamic mode using left doubleclick. It is quite random, I will test it more and check if it is a real problem.

[Martin Wilcke]

Exactly the same experience here. With the Remotek app installed, zoom in/out works on the overview map, but not when navigating (panning up/down instead). With the app uninstalled, zooming works when navigating as well. The only downside is the missing DC right to switch apps, but that's acceptable.

Thanks @Stanisław for this tip - I would never have thought of that by myself!

[TenWheels]

The exact same thing happens to me. When I enable the Accessibility service in the Remotek app, the remote control no longer responds as expected while driving a route. I will send an email to Remotek with my findings. With the Accessibility service disabled, switching between the two profiles no longer works.

Android 14, Remotek firmware 2.1.0, MRA 4.3.8

@TenWheels said in Remotek-one firmware 2.0.0:

When I enable the Accessibility service in the Remotek app, the remote control no longer responds as expected while driving a route. I will send an email to Remotek with my findings.

But the question is whether a change in the Remotek app is helpful because zoom in/out works in the MRA overview map; the problem only occurs during navigation. Obviously, MRA interprets the keyboard codes sent by the controller differently.
