Mio Classic Keypads & Hold

ondrovic · April 2007

I was working on getting the hold for the volume up & volume down ramp on the new Mio Classic keypads with no luck.

I programmed it like you would the old 8 button keypads but as I hold the button down I get nothing any ideas?

example:

BUTTON_EVENT[dvKeypads,nKeypad_Buttons]
{
    PUSH:
    {
	nPanel_Index = Get_Last(dvKeypads) + 5
	nPanel_Address = nPanel_Index + 144
	nButton = Get_Last(nKeypad_Buttons)
	Switch(nButton)
	{
	    CASE 6:	/// Volume Up
	    {
		/// command to send volume up
		BREAK
	    }
	    CASE 7:	/// Volume Down
	    {
		/// command to send volume down
		BREAK
	    }
	}
    }
    HOLD[2,Repeat]:
    {
	Switch(nButton)
	{
	    CASE 6:	/// Volume Up
	    {
		/// command to send volume up
		BREAK
	    }
	    CASE 7:	/// Volume Down
	    {
		/// command to send volume down
		BREAK
	    }
	}
    }
}

using an ada suite 16 switcher

Not sure that this applies, but if you are trying to accomplish this in a module, it will only see the HOLD events on the first instance of the module. The only fix I am aware of at this time is to save the module with multiple names (one for each instance).

Do you see a release, and if so when?

You could set a flag value between push and release and use a 2/10 sec timeline to do the hold programmatically.

Thanks for the replies I will give your suggestions a shot and see where it leads me.

You want to trigger the PUSH action on the RELEASE, unless you HOLD the button.
Add the variable nPushOnly above:

BUTTON_EVENT[dvKeypads,nKeypad_Buttons]
{
  PUSH:
  {
	nPanel_Index = Get_Last(dvKeypads) + 5
	nPanel_Address = nPanel_Index + 144
	nButton = Get_Last(nKeypad_Buttons)
  }
  HOLD[2,Repeat]:
  {
	nPushOnly = 1;
	Switch(nButton)
	{
	  CASE 6:	/// Volume Up
	  {
		/// command to send volume up
	  }
	  CASE 7:	/// Volume Down
	  {
		/// command to send volume down
	  }
	}
  }
  RELEASE
  {
	if(nPushOnly == 0)
	{
	  Switch(nButton)
	  {
		CASE 6:	/// Volume Up
		{
		/// command to send volume up
		}
		CASE 7:	/// Volume Down
		{
		/// command to send volume down
	  }
	}
	else
	{
	  nPushOnly = 0;
	}
  }
}
