Digitals Feedback Color / Intensity Question

Hello everyone, first time posting here. I just got my controller a month ago and I have to say it’s a thing of beauty.

I have one issue with programming the buttons.

This is my setup

The controller starts → all LEDs are off.
I send a NOTE 80 127 16 message, the LED of goes to colour 127, intensity full.
I send a NOTE 80 0 15 message, the LED goes to minimum intensity.
I press the button physically, nothing happens, which is expected since local feedback is off.

Now the surprising part:
I send a NOTE 80 127 15 message, the LED does NOT respond. I’m guessing this is because my physical press put the button into a “note-off” mode and disabled it to receive new intensity messages (?).

For the intensity message to work again i have to send the colour message again.

So I send a NOTE 80 127 16 message, the LED stays at colour 127, minimum intensity.
Now I can send my NOTE 80 127 15 message again and the button goes to full intensity.

I’m using max/msp so I can easily set it up so my software always sends a colour message when sending out a new intensity but I don’t understand why I would need to send 2 messages for one thing to happen?

Thanks in advance

Hello @edisludwig!
Welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Glad to hear you are ejoying it!

About the issue you are seeing, I could replicate it.
And you’re right, the physical press, does set the state of the button to OFF, and when in this state, the value to intensity.

Try this firmware:
Firmware V1.0 - RC

It’s a release candidate with many improvements on performance. I also added the fix for your issue.

Let us know how it works and if you get any bugs.

To update the firmware you can use this guide:

Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the quick reply and I’m glad you could confirm my findings. I tried this firmware, the install went fine, but after updating I don’t receive any data from my controller. I went back to 0.24, which worked.

My bad!

there was a mismatch detected in the config and firmware versions, sorry for that.

Here is the fixed firmware: Firmware - RC 1.0

Great this seems to work. The LED responds. Is there a change log for this firmware?

it’s not official yet hehe

we’ll keep testing more and release it soon, in a few weeks to a month probably
