R3 Menu <> Colour buttons programming

Jorde_V

I got back on an old project done by a colleague of mine, he's made it so that the colour buttons and menu buttons are on the same buttons (R3 colour buttons, I think it's pretty common going by the layout of it)

I personally haven't worked with this before, but the issue is that the colour buttons turn in to menu buttons when you go into the menu, the result is that you don't have an exit key any more.

I was curious if others had these in projects and how they made it.

I was thinking something on the lines of a hold for colours and a normal push for menu related items. But I'm not certain if this is the way to go.

No one has tried/done this kind of thing?

I haven't worked with an R3 at all, only R4's. Anything that requires less than an R4, I use a Universal instead (or, I should say, that's what my sales people sell them ... not like it's my decision).

Thanks for the reply, in the end I just put the commands on the release if the button wasn't held for .5 seconds. That way it works well, and the client doesn't even realize the small delay.
