Extra switches now customizable from webconf

jofemodo · March 12, 2020, 10:54am

Regarding the “LV2 error” messages, i think they will be fixed in the next green build.
Regarding your problems with MIDI CustomActions, send the full log. Specially the “MIDI SWITCHES SETUP…”

zynthian/zynthian-ui/blob/0d530c017f8af73de3eb3bd45f0361e1847e4b63/zynthian_gui.py#L665


	def zynswitches_init(self):
		if lib_zyncoder:
			ts=datetime.now()
			logging.info("SWITCHES INIT...")
			for i,pin in enumerate(zynthian_gui_config.zynswitch_pin):
				self.dtsw.append(ts)
				lib_zyncoder.setup_zynswitch(i,pin)
				logging.info("SETUP ZYNSWITCH {} => wpGPIO {}".format(i, pin))




	def zynswitches_midi_setup(self, midi_chan):
		if midi_chan is not None:
			logging.info("MIDI SWITCHES SETUP...")


			for i in range(0, zynthian_gui_config.n_custom_switches):
				swi = 4 + i
				event = zynthian_gui_config.custom_switch_midi_events[i]
				if event is not None:
					if event['chan'] is not None:
						midi_chan = event['chan']
					lib_zyncoder.setup_zynswitch_midi(swi, event['type'], midi_chan, event['num'])

Perhaps you could add some extra log message too

I found the bug

self.zynswitches_midi_setup(curlayer_chan)

is only called in set_active_channel

But I boot up a zynthian without setting an active channel.
plain vanilla empty zynthian, no layers except MX. I press the button, to load the layers

Uhhhh! Nice!! Try now …

mheidt · March 12, 2020, 2:13pm

I got it working with one machine. But the second one doesn’t…i investigate…

mheidt · March 12, 2020, 3:26pm

The machine, that is not working has an old image (???).
I will create a new image for this machine tomorrow.
And it uses MCP23008
So maybe the wiring like this is the issue

Maybe you stop at the first 0 GPIO somewhere…

@jofemodo
I installed 2020-03-11+update and still don’t get the snapshot loaded on the MCP23008 with no zyncoders but 3 custom switches.
If you can’t reproduce this scenario. Could you tell me, where I should add logs?

jofemodo · March 13, 2020, 10:01am

Send your wiring config

mheidt · March 13, 2020, 10:21am

jofemodo · March 13, 2020, 10:03pm

It seems good. If the switch works as CUIA, i don’t see any reason for not working as MIDI action. Look for the “MIDI SWITCHES SETUP…” in the UI log.

and when I press

jofemodo · March 13, 2020, 10:51pm

It looks fine! Try with a channel different from Master and disable the ZS3. You should see the MIDI event in the MIDI log …

Regards,

mheidt · March 13, 2020, 10:55pm

no midi messages (no blue m in ui neither)

jofemodo · March 13, 2020, 11:10pm

And does it work with Note or CC messages?

mheidt · March 13, 2020, 11:13pm

no note either. I didn’t test CC

jofemodo · March 13, 2020, 11:32pm

OK! I have it! MIDI send wasn’t implemented in the old zyncoder MCP23008 code (polling zynswitches).
I just created a branch in the zyncoder repository:

zynswitch_poll_midi

Please, test with this branch!

cd /zynthian/zyncoder
git fetch
git checkout zynswitch_poll_midi
git pull
./build.sh
systemctl restart zynthian

Regards,

mheidt · March 13, 2020, 11:35pm

Great…note works…testing pc now

mheidt · March 13, 2020, 11:39pm

yes, pc as well. and 0 is the first one…like expected. although you could define 0 to load the default…

jofemodo · March 15, 2020, 8:29pm

It’s merged on master now

wanthalf · May 5, 2021, 10:16pm

Hi, I added an extra switch to the pin 16 (GPIO23/wPI4) of the RPi4 and I can detect it working from the commandline, but I cannot make zynthian detect it. I tried adding both 4 and 23 to the end of the list of switches in the webconf, but nothing works. Not a single message in the UI log either. Standard buttons on the MCP work well.

Am I missing something? I have to admit that I am not sure about the exact role of the “Wiring Layout” selector. So I have just selected the “Mcp23017 Zynscreen” option. Do I need to switch to another one?

jofemodo · May 6, 2021, 3:08am

Sorry @wanthalf , the current zyncoder code has come limitations and doesn’t allow to mix switches on the RBPi GPIO and MCP2317.
