3 ladders unexpected led behaviour #406

Closed jimhiggs closed 1 year ago

jimhiggs commented 1 year ago

This is my second build underway and I have just updated to 2.5.2 I have 3 ladders of 6 switches each and each has an led so I have changed led in config to 18. I have configured each pedal with 6 actions each with an id tag so pedal 1/1, pedal 1/2, pedal 3/5 etc and all buttons are firing the correct press functions an displaying the correct tags. Problem is with leds. I have tried numbering them at pedal level and at action level and get the same results. When I press pedal 1/1, the leds for pedal 1/1, pedal 2/1 and pedal 3/1 all light using the colors defined for each action, same if I press pedal 2/5, the leds for 1/5, 2/5 and 3/5 all light. I know the led chain is working correctly because I have tried setting the led number for pedal 1/1 to each number 1-18 and this works. Any ideas?

Another thing I can't wrap my head round is that with the ladder if I press button 1 it changes to the on color and remaining five show off color. If I press button 2 it switches to the on color and switches button 1 color to the off color. Like its an or situation. How can I configure it so pressing button 1 switches it to on color and pressing other buttons on the same ladder do not turn it off but pressing the same button again does? Simulating 6 independent latch switches I suppose?

Can you share your configuration file?

jimhiggs commented 1 year ago

I used Github to load 2.5.2 and only changed #define LEDS 18 in pedalino.h. Rest is untouched.
Here is my Configuration file. Dec 22B.zip

Only one Program Change can be active on each MIDI channel. The last Program Change cancel the previous one (on the same channel) activating the off color (green in you config for ladder 1) of other buttons. I suggest to use a Control Change.

OK Thanks. I did not know that, will try that. I have just sponsored and will switch to the latest 3.0.4. do you want me to keep this version going in case you want further feedback on this issue?

jimhiggs commented 1 year ago

I just changed all pedals to CC and both issues are solved So I can close this issue. Thanks for the speedy response.
