Simple IMU triggers don't seem to repeat (i.e. !R) on GP12 (but do work in longer "compound" commands) #799

Open piersg opened 4 months ago

I may have done something to cause this though, which I'll explain below, but first:

If I scan the default example QR code on the documentation page (i.e. this command: !SI6D1H5!R) my new GP12 records once when moved, but after it stops recording, it doesn't return to the "IMU" display and does not record again if moved.

However, if I run this command:

mVr1080p25fW0te0cNsMv0dVoV0D4C0S1W0L02T240305171912oMBASE="EX_240305_BC1F_"!SI3D1H60!R

it does repeatedly record (but, separate problem, it also sets the time again, which is undesirable).

I didn't try the more simple command until after I had run the above one quite a few times, so I don't know if that has somehow caused the non-repeats for the simple command. But I have tried power-cycling and removing the battery without effect.

I don't see the first error in a upcoming release (good news, the bug seems to be fixed already), but I there is a super simple workaround

!SI6D1H5!1R (added the 1 to !1R)

It just need a small delay. The reason the long command is work, it those extras commands are take a second or to to process.

Thanks that workaround seems to be working.

While we're talking ;-) is the !timeRx command documented in any more detail somewhere? Is 'x' just a char offset? From the end/from the beginning?

Ideally I'd like to run just the long command above but repeat only the IMU tigger (and not the clock set)

'x' is character offset from the beginning.
