Radio knobs too fast

Post by mfitch » 13 Jul 2020, 03:21

With the latest update I can barely get the knobs to move by one. Unlike the multipanel I cannot find a setting to do one for every two clicks (or similar slowing mechanism). How do I make this functional in the latest version?

I have the same problem, however I used the Saitek radio panel test app with SPAD closed and it was registering two-three updates per click.

My radio definitely didn’t do that previously I’m wondering if the hardware got a firmware update or something?

I tested with SPAD 0.9.6.x and was having similar issues but not as bad.

Hopefully SPAD can’t add auto detection of quick firing of values and say filter out/ignore Clicks inside a specified time. While this could affect acceleration I’d be happy if it only updated once every so many milliseconds

As it looks like there are devices out there that do the half-stepping and some that do not. Before, this was covered by the old faulty acceleration code. The new configurable acceleration seems to popup this issue.

Working on a fix for that. If you change your updatechannel to "Alpha", I will be pushing a testversion there today, which has the pollrate for the tuners configurable for the devices.

c0nnex,

Thanks, the alpha update and ability to set the poll rate on the radio panel has fixed one of the main issues i have been facing trying to easily set frequencies without too large of a jump or too much sensitivity. I am using a poll rate of 100ms and it is lovely and smooth. As i get used to it i may reduce the poll rate slightly to get the best effect for my setup.

Is it possible to do the same for the multi panel? It is still too sensitive regardless of which setting (ignore second click on or off) for my setup. Not as bad as the radio panel but still a little too sensitive for my fat fingers.

How can the pollrate fix the reading to fast? Should it be set slower?
Default settings on the radio are too fast. Default settings on the multipanel are unusably slow. Setting acceleration does not seem to have an effect.
