PULSE / TIME OUT timer's not resetting on passed through joystick events #10

Open oneswitch opened 9 years ago

Not sure if it's possible, but if I use button 2 as a pass through, to speed along the scanning speed, sometimes it skips down twice. This is because there seems to be no timer reset on PULSE (and I guess not TIME OUT either).

If possible, the pass through joystick should reset the two timers, just as pressing the choice button does.

Yes this is possible, but would you want it to happen in all cases?

Definitely for anything that's passed through as joystick button 2 or 22 (both used in JTK as a way to move down the menu system). Also for 3 or 23 (both used as a Time Out condition). That's critical I think to avoid this issue. Think that would do the trick.

So it seems to me that they are not going to have 20+ buttons on their stick, so we just need to not pass through buttons 2 or 3?

It would be useful to add some extra bindable "choice" buttons for those who can manage two or three physical switches (either alone or in a team). It would also support people using a keyboard-HID switch interface. I suppose this would end up being a lot like "Mixer".

If any input is detected (choice 1 -4 for instance) then the Pulse and Timeout clock should be reset.

Does this sound do-able, or a nightmare? Especially in relation to the "special keys" tab idea, and the microphone-switches?
