Duplex-Like Framework For Progamming Hardware?

[danoise]

Hey Syphus, props for your work! I would definitely like to see your modifications?

@syphus

I have used the test sliders/spinners/etc, but I’m noticing weird stuff. First off, does ‘spinner’ refer to page-flipping? I’ve only come to that conclusion after lots of head-scratching and wondering if it was another name for knob. Anyway, a weirdness is that, when I’ve got a 4-column group of EncodersEffect knobs, only the first three work. I increase it to 5 and add a new param line (as seen above), and still only the first three work. I can swap the lines and the values, everything’s fine - but only the first three parsed parameters in that group will work! Any ideas what that might be about?

Yeah, no wonder you’re wondering. But you are assuming correctly; the ‘UISpinner’ is for page flipping, and occupies either two buttons (which light up if the internal value can be increased or decreased), or a slider/dial (which will, for obvious reasons, behave like a slider or dial). Sorry if the documentation for the UIComponents are less than ideal, time didn’t allow me to do a proper writeup on how to use those things.
Also, if you are experiencing trouble assigning those controls it might be because of the issue described here? (of course, this needs to be fixed ASAP)

Also having weird experiences with buttons, where I have single-value option selections (like to change LFO shape on the synth) - a block of, say, four buttons, sine/tri/saw/square, each has max and min of 0-0/1-1/2-2/3-3. Clicking one will change the colour of another, and I don’t really know what’s going on with them

You want to have buttons acting like ‘radio buttons’ (one is clicked, and the others are turned off, allowing only a single active choice at a time)?
If so, the quick answer is to use a UISlider instead, with a ‘ceiling’ of four. But are you creating a new application for this, or simply changing the mappings (as specified by the device configuration) ?
