ProffieOS v6.3 BETA testing

ProffieOS
526

I just uploaded 6.3 and everything seems to be working great!

Yes, I think it might be better to have all of them commented out to force people to update the CONFIG_FILE settings. There has been too many times where people have missed that and used the wrong config file.

6.3 working perfectly here :slight_smile: Normally when updating I just copy the entire block of text for CONFIG_FILEs from Arduino and paste it over the new one (and also copy the configs themselves obviously), Iā€™ve got a lot of configs Iā€™ve made that I just leave commented out all the time.

Side question, in the example file (39 presets) that Fett263 shared that has 39 different presets using the new syntax is there one with Force_Effect? I scrolled through each one where it lists what each has and donā€™t see it.

ie:

/* ƂĀ© Fett263 Rotoscope (Primary Blade) OS6 Style
Style Options
Default(0): Base Color (Original)
1: Base Color + Alt Color (Original)
2: Base Color (Fast)
3: Base Color + Alt Color (Fast)
4: Base Color (Slow)
5: Base Color + Alt Color (Slow)
Effects =
Ignition Effect Options: Default (0): Standard Ignition, 1: Wipe In, 2: Cycle Up, 3: SparkTip Ignition, 4: Center Out, 5: Center In
Power Up Effect Options: Default (0): Disabled, 1: Unstable Power Up, 2: Bright Power Up , 3: AudioFlicker Power Up
Retraction Effect Options: Default (0): Standard Retraction, 1: Run Up, 2: Cycle Down, 3: SparkTip Retraction 4: Split Retraction, 5: Center In

Blast Effect: Multi-Blast (Sequence)
Clash Effect: Real Clash
Battery Level: % Blade - Red to Green

Thereā€™s no argument for Force Effects, you can use ALT_COLOR_ARG if you want to enable editing, itā€™s meant as a catchall depending on the style used.

Exciting day indeed! Now, Just my 2 cents.
I see no doc folder.
DId that go away in 5.9 too? I donā€™t remember.

I know thereā€™s the Wiki, and a place to download the default sounds, and a place to download the EditMode voice promptsā€¦
It just makes sense in my mind to have maybe 1 document with links to such needed items contained within the download package itself.
Maybe at least include the Manual?

532

My intention is to build something that will take the wiki, convert it to HTML or PDF and ship it with the zip file when I do ā€œmake exportā€. However, I think that will be a 7.x feature since it may take some work to do, and we may need to clean up the wiki a bit as well.

Is there a way to adjust flicker contrast with the new styles? as it is, itā€™s very strobe like. Would like to make the flicker subtle.

534

Depends on the style.

535

Seeing as I know the questions are going to starting filling my inbox the second OS6 releases, the initial OS6 Style Library is about 90% done. Iā€™m hoping to finish it for some Beta testing in the next week or two.
Itā€™s a completely new framework on top of converting everything to the new syntax so itā€™s taking me time to build and test. My rough plan will be an initial release with a handful of styles I have ready and then ongoing updates to expand the library over the next few months or longer. I have 100s of ideas but need time to build them and test so the library will start out small and then grow quite a bit as I get time to work on the styles.
Once the library is ready Iā€™ll formally announce and probably need some beta testers as thereā€™s even more new code in the library then there was in my prop. More to comeā€¦

Thank you Fredrik, Fernando, No Sloppy, and everyone else. The only issue I am having still is WEBUSB on my Proffie 3.7. Other than that, Iā€™ve been having fun with OS6. No problems in saber functions.

Humpflicker, audioflicker and random flicker.

I see the color option, but there is no flicker color definition as I am used to with the older versions. What should be modified so the darker part is brighter to reduce the contrast while flickering?

In edit mode, if selecting a retraction style, it will show one, then stay retracted and kick you out of edit mode.

Also, is there a way to limit options to those available instead of 32000+?

Currently no, but you can use Scale<> to get a more reasonable range.

6.3 successfully uploaded to the saber. Had a lock-up on a smoke blade style, but couldnā€™t reproduce ia second time. Didnā€™t have any additional problems, but Iā€™ll test more tomorrow.

543

Did you rotate left to 32000+ option and then click or hold any buttons when this happened? I think I know the cause but need a little more info on exactly what you did because it shouldnā€™t kick you out of Edit Mode. Can you replicate and document what you did and/or hook up to Serial Monitor?

544

It depends on the specific style. The ā€œTwo Colorā€ styles with ALT_COLOR_ARG are designed to let you adjust, the others you would have to rebuild to do this.

545

Are we expecting to simply plop in our old config file/prop files and have this work on an older (not 3.0) board?

Im finding that not to be the case, but in case you want to support this sort of thing Im not going to mess with it yet.
