[NSRCA-discussion] New proposed Advanced and Masters sequencesadded to RC Caller

[Pascoe,Tim [Burlington]]

There are a number of DIY options out there for hacking the pause/play/skip feature built in to many headphones. Both the iPhone and Android phones can use the headphone jack to detect these switches. With hacked headphones and a wire to a small switch at the back of the transmitter, perhaps this is a simpler (cheaper) solution than Bluetooth or an additional receiver? Not sure about the programming side of it, but I’ve seen a couple of blogs discussing it in the past.

 

This is an Android solution using the same idea.

The concept of this app to fill in as a portable caller for competition aerobatic sequences is great, especially for learning a new sequence.  I'm looking forward to getting this app to work well and consistently!.
    In its current version, I also noticed inconsistent "triggering", both in voice and in motion-control of the phone, to advance to speak the next maneuver.  Is a second RX really the only way to have a switch-feature?   Ron L. and I discussed this earlier today and thought some external switch, not necessary an existing one on the TX, would help, such as a foot-toggled one, or maybe a switch that could be velcrowed to the tx or tx tray that is wired directly to the phone in some easy-connection manor.

I'll look into adding an option to not roll backwards.  And yeah, I'm aware of the challenges with voice at the field, it's why I added roll control and the bluetooth device that works with a spare receiver to let you control it from a switch on your TX. 

 

Good point on the revert.  I'm somewhat intentionally not maintaining state between the different views.

Thanks Peter.
Is there any way to stop the tilt control from making the caller go backwards?  The AP is handy for having all of the sequences available on your phone but I have been unable to have it work as a caller when flying.  Tilt sort of works but it always goes backwards at some point.  Voice control is too unreliable at the field.  (apple device)

Also if I am switch pages to look at the list of maneuvers when I get back to the calling page the class reverts to Classic 35K from whatever I was looking at.

	New proposed NSRCA Advanced and Masters sequences have been added to RCCaller app.  You may need to hit the refresh button (circular arrow) at the top of the main screen to get the updated sequences loaded.  They are shown as "Advanced 2016" and "Masters 2016"
