New features provided by open9x

If I am right on the stock board you will only be allowed numbers, right? If yes, it will be more like what I have done for gruvin9x board with SOMO-14D extension. Here is the screenshot:

But it's not available yet, I will wait for Mike's commit and simply port the feature to open9x with a new option.

good.. it's lookin nice anyway.. There are some people in my club with modded 9x's. they got someone else to mod them. some of them have no idea of this community here and how many possibilities there are for this radio.. I was hoping that I'd be able to show them the audio at the club meeting tomorrow. But it won't be possible and it is understandable. we must earn our living first and then do the hobby stuff. that's called life.. ;)

You guys have done already so much..

The module we use basically IS a SOMO-14D, just without the brand and model on, and 4x cheaper ;)

I guess you could do a direct port of your gruvin9x functionality...

Yes, but I prefer doing a port, the low layer will be different ...

I will commit soon both open9x and companion9x. For open9x / ersky9x beta testers, be careful, there is a EEPROM conversion needed. So you need to compile yourself companion9x. For open9x / stock and open9x / gruvin9x beta testers, no problem, EEPROM version remains 209.

It's also possible to change all "system" sounds. You just have to load your files in the /9XSOUNDS directory of your SD-Card. These files must be called xxxx.wav where xxxx may take these values:
inactiv, lowbatt, error, keyup, keydown, menus, trim, warning1, warning2, warning3, midtrim, tada, midpot, mixwarn1, mixwarn2, mixwarn3, timerlt3, timer10, timer20 and timer30.

Of course the wav format remains unchanged: 16bits linear PCM at any "reasonable" frequency. I suggest 16kHz.

All functions described above should be working, including dynamic change of volume using any sources, I just tested it, was indeed a good idea! It's commited, I will wait for some feedback from beta users before releasing. Enjoy!

Bertrand.

EDIT: For those who cannot compile companion9x, I have prepared a unofficial 0.88pre version for your EEPROM conversion from 209 to 210 format (ersky9x users only): http://code.google.com/p/companion9x/downloads/list

EDIT2: You will also be able to see how many Watts your motor uses by choosing the Volts Source (Cells / A1 / A2) et the Amps source (Hub / A1/ A2).

@creativeleo: what are your options for open9x / ersky9x so that you can test as well?

Has loads of potentially usefull sounds.

e.g.

Menu Click
Alarm
Siren
etc.. etc..

I will attemt to pull a load into a 'sound pack' that can be used.

But wait until monday... am away this weekend :-)

A lot of good feedback from stock board users and some bugs fixed. Any feedback from ersky9x users before we release?

No sound plays with switch activation. I've tried so many different sound settings. What do you make your sound files with, they aren't a standard wav file. All mine paly too slow, or too fast.

The version you posted has the switch switch thingy, I stopped trying to make the beta work because of it. I find it annoying, that's just me, I can't stand that feature, and it's one I don't select at all, plain and simple. My personal opinion of the bolded fonts... dislike them too. again, that's just me, it looks messy, like it doesn't belong.

I'm picky... maybe, simple rule.. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple silly.

I gave the command line using FFmpeg some posts above and plan to support PCM alaw soon. The bold font could be an option as well so that everybody would be happy, thanks for your feedback, always constructive ;)

Thanks, most people don't use ffmpeg, i do, but a lot of others may use audacity, or other sound editing
Software. Even text aloud and other text to speech software, their wav files
Don't play, and they are pcm 16bit , tried many pieces of software.

Just a heads up. :)

So...

I have made a load of audio files.. and they play quite happily.

Still plenty of bugs - so reverting back to previous version until Bertrand back up and running :-)
