Do the iRiver H300 JOYSTICK LCD remotes work w Rockbox on an H1xx?

[Davide-NYC]

WOW!!!

Your patch seems to work perfectly on both of my remotes.
Sweet.
The -10/+10 jogwheel function just jumps up or down ten items in a list.

On a different note, what is going on with the main LCD contrast!?!?! I have to lower it from 37 to 27 in order to read anything! Is that as easy as changing the default startup value? Different issue I guess...

I'll play with the remote for the rest of the day and let you know how it goes.
Anyone else with this combination (H-1xx and Joystick Remote) do some testing!!!
I'll report back here in a couple of days.

Thanks so much!!!
Davide-NYC.

[Mmmm]

Hang on hang on, don't go yet....I've put a new build in now...should work better (depending on when you downloaded it!

Everything should work now...plugins and all!

By the way, don't worry if the remotes give slightly different ADC_REMOTE no.s as there is a range that is valid, so it should be ok.

the top and bottom rockers should be

top right -> bitrate
top left -> source
bottom right -> record
bottom left -> mode

About the dark screen, this is a separate issue, I thought Linus had fixed it..try resetting your settings, that may do it!

Keep giving feedback and i'll commit it if you don't find any weirdnesses.. have fun

[Mmmm]

Ah.. the dark screen thing was because I hadnt updated my build! 
Now it should be better!:)

OK from the Filetree :

• Joystick functions are correct.
• Top Jogwheel is (-10, Play/Pause, +10)
• Bottom Jogwheel is (A-B, Stop, nothing)

From the Menu screen (Mode) :

• Joystick functions are correct.
• Top Jogwheel is (-10, nothing, +10)
• Bottom Jogwheel is (A-B, up a level/cancel/out to filetree, nothing)

From the WPS :

• Joystick is correct (up/down = volume, left/right = seek/track skip)
• Top Jogwheel is (prev directory, play/pause, next directory)
• Bottom Jogwheel is (A-B, STOP, nothing)

From WRS (while recording screen) :

• Joystick is (up/down = NOTHING, left/right = select next item)
• Top Jogwheel is (nothing, rec/pause, nothing)
• Bottom Jogwheel is (nothing {while recording}/mode otherwise, STOP, filesplit)

So the up/down on the main unit == left/right on the remote. This needs fixing.
So the left/right on the main unit == -10/+10 on the remote. This needs fixing.

Observation : The Joystick remote mirrors the main units buttons PLUS has the -10/+10 buttons which can be used for whatever purpose. The next directory/previous directory functionality is really nice in the WPS. I find that using the top jogwheel is slightly easier than using the remote joystick, so while in the WRS making {up/down == select} and a {-10/+10 == level adjustment} could be sweet ergonomically.

Opinion : Unless someone sees a reason to not do the following I suggest that remote joystick left/right and top jogwheel -10/+10 be redundant butons for level adjust while in the WRS. What say y'all? I can't think of what else to do with -10/+10 in WRS.


Plugin observations:
No JPG viewing on remote (who cares)
No TXT viewing on remote (who cares)

Audio observations :
The ticking is back in full effect! (insert worst profanity you know)
The whole point of this excercise was to have good navigability during stealth recording (or am I alone on this one?) this ticking business is a real PITA. I remember there being a setting to reduce or remove the ticking problem but I can't seem to find it. Is it in this build?

Display observation :
On the remote I get a cool HD activity icon, but on the main unit I don't.
Presumably the red LED is supposed to serve this purpose but they are not in sync. (?)
Can I enable an HD activity icon on the main unit LCD? (ignore if not possible)

Hope this helps., Davide-NYC

Here's a JPG I just made showing the 1:1 button mappings plus the -10/+10 buttons which should equal the source/bitrate buttons on the plain LCD remote.

Ahh..Cheers david, That's an easy fix (the recording screen checks buttons in a slightly different way to everything else) All I have to do is run my new function in peakmeter.c and that should sort it...I'll do that later when I'm back with my DEV environment.

The bitrate/source thing is also easily done...

I'll post a new build for you to try later..

[Mmmm]

Oh and I think you'll find the ticking fix in the remote LCD settings (right at the bottom)

[Mmmm]

Alrighty then.... try this build now: H3remotemods.zip

Hopefully that whips this one...

[Davide-NYC]

I do belive we have a winner!
WRS functions are all correct and the redundant level controls to boot!
Well done Mmmm. Thanks again.
 
If you want one of these amazing remotes this guy has them:

They ship from South Korea and are brand new.
He has them, just ask him.

I think I've found a bug. It's difficult to say without being able to test. It hit me just before I snoozed off last night!

I bet the virtual keyboard doesn't work properly... can you test it?
Go to mode->manage settings->write .cfg file
press mode on the remote to flip the page and then try to enter a character.
I bet the wrong one pops up....Am I right?

Anyway, I wouldn't like to report a bug without a fix , so Here's the (hopefully) fixed build in the usual place:  H3remotemods.zip

[Mmmm]

Hmmm well, I'm not going to commit this as there is a HUGE button reworking in process at the moment so I'll probably have to start from scratch after that is committed anyway.

Ahh well, so until then, here is the patch so that you can all update your builds etc...

I hadn't thought of that at all.
I tried renaming a file with the last biuld and in fact it didn't work properly.
When I tried with your updated build it seemed to work perfectly!
(although I didn't attempt to type every character)
Thanks again for the build and the patch.
Are there any other tests I should perform?

[Mmmm]

Are there any other tests I should perform?

Just try everything you can think of...press all the buttons, go into all the menus try the plugins...you can never do too much testing!

Minor bug to report:

The 300remotekeys patch breaks the UISimulator on MAKE.

Here's the error:

LD rockboxui.exe
/home/Administrator/rockbox-devel/sim_20060801/apps/recorder/peakmeter.o: In function `peak_meter_draw_get_btn':
/home/Administrator/rockbox-devel/apps/recorder/peakmeter.c:1186: undefined reference to `_remote_key_remap'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [/home/Administrator/rockbox-devel/sim_20060801/rockboxui.exe] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

No idea what this means but I thought I'd report it.

:-)

[petur]

He most probably forgot to either not call the function or supply a stub function for sim builds
