Mapping a button

[Visti]

Hi guys, I have a c240 with a broken "volume down" button. Is there any way I can remap another button, such as the "record" to that function?


Cheers!

Yes, you can, but you need to edit the code and then compile.

You need to have a development environment set up, then edit the appropriate keymap in:

apps/keymaps/keymap-c200.c

the easier way to do it would be to change firmware/target/arm/sandisk/sansa-e200/button-e200.c to return BUTTON_DOWN instead of BUTTON_REC (around line 255) that will swap the buttons in the entire rockbox.. no other changes willl be needed

If his volume down button is broken he should rather return BUTTON_VOL_DOWN.

But yes, that would be the easiest way to do it (the usual rec button functionality is of course lost).

Ah yes, it didn't occur to change the whole lot in one go.  Good plan!

Of course, he could also just change the volume through Settings --> Sound Settings --> Volume.

Yeah, I've been doing this, but its just so annoying to accidentally turn the volume a tiny bit too loud and then try to navigate the menu system with hurty ears.

I will try changing the value there, but I take it I have to recompile, though? This is something I have no experience with, as I've only ever used Python.
