Button press repeats on AccuForce v2 Button Box

OS Version: Windows 10 64Bit

Enter the software in use: SLIMax Manager

Targeted Simulation / Game:
iRacing

Description(be specific when you ask software support):
I configured an AccuForce Button box button to btn_up_left_display and a second button to btn_up_right_display to advance through the left/right displays.  I did remove the default mappings to the SLI-PRO rotary encoder.  When pressing the button I mapped, the correct display changes, but continues to advance as long as the button is held down.  It is very difficult to advance the display just one field.



How to reproduce the problem step by step:

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry. The default assignment of the SLI-PRO are the 2 rotary switch 12 positions S1 and S2 and not rotary encoders,

To cycle through all info back and forth on left panel of SLI-PRO you have to assign both btn_up_left_display AND btn_down_left_display (2 buttons or 1 encoder) and obviously it's the same for right panel of SLI-PRO  both btn_up_right_display AND btn_down_right_display must be assigned.

But it's okay to assign only the UP left and UP right display functions to loop forward through all info. The buttons must be a simple PUSH-PULL which are ON when down and OFF when up.

Your issue is not related to SLIMax Mgr Pro but to the firmware behavior of your hardware buttonbox or something that changes the state of the button when it's down. SLIMax Mgr Pro changes the info on the panel if your button continuously send ON/OFF when it's pressed.

To check the state of your buttons with SLIMax Mgr Pro do the following:

Launch SLIMax Mgr Pro
1) open a simulation or game
2) select menu "Toggle Device Info" in SLIMax Mgr Pro
3) go on track <=============== you must be on track
3) push your button and check the Debug Console notification
4) select the menu again to toggle off

In the debug console window the sate of the button pressed must STAY DOWN until you release the button which then go UP.









Hope this helps
