Rockbox Development > New Ports
Sansa Fuze+
pamaury:
Hi all,
It has been a long time since the last update but I have some great news! I've made lots of internal changes recently and now the port entirely usable except for the audio part. I wrote a basic touchpad driver so I can navigate it the menus and launch plugins. I changed lots of things regarding the bootloader and the wiki is not up to date but I plan to make Rockbox Utility capable of producing a fuze+ firmware and bootloader as soon as possible.
RipCurl:
I always wonder, what part of the fuze+ is responsible for the laggy touchpad.... (touchpad itself, cpu, ram or bad firmware ???)
so i just want to know if the navigation in the rockbox menu is smooth and intuitive. Is it still some kind of laggy because its a problem with the hardware?
pamaury:
The touchpad itself is quite responsive, it can give the finger position 30 times per second or more. However the touchpad itself includes some gesture recognition software so instead of only giving the position of the finger and can also tells you things like "tap at x,y" "slick at at xy,y in direction dx,dy". The OF relies on this gesture recognition which is not really good and laggy. That explains why the OF seems to "miss" some gesture too. In the basic touchpad driver I wrote, I don't use the gesture recognition so it's really responsive but because the current driver is simplistic, it's not as good as I would like, yet.
RipCurl:
that sounds REALLY GREAT!!!
btw: is there a way to navigate by "sliding" without using the gesture recognition from the touchpad? (= a selfmade/better gesture recognition implemented in rockbox)
pamaury:
Yes but I need to implement gesture recognition myself. I plan to do it but this is not a priority, the priority is to have audio work of course :)
