Custom timer and sounds!

i have recently found a way to change the sound an make my own tune, but cant find a full range, of things i could use, for now i made my timer sound different. by going to media/sounds and on timer 1 i used
g2=100
a2=100
f2=100
f1=100
c2=100
using c3,c4 and up changes the pitch of sound, also adding a new line of f1, ga, f2 increases the number of beeps. i dont know how much you could add though, and the limits, thats why im here, how many line can you put

actually found out that
you can use A-G
1-4 level of pitch
duration 1-1000
you can add lines, as long as the sound last 10 sec, because it would restart again.



for example:

G[note]1[pitch]=150[duration]


so it goes like:

G1=150. for one note

i only go to maximum of 3 pitch because 4 is so high pitch it hurts your ear.

this is great because i get telemetry and alarm sound confused sometimes

dx0 was missing...
And you can use "xx" for a break, "xx=1000" let the sound be quiet for one second.

Cool!

Now if we could have a 'music' section in the forum, to help us that can't write music notes.

It would be really nice to have a selection of warning and info tunes.

If you tell me the melody you want, i could find the notes and durations. But i have no idea how to program them in.

I was going to suggest adding a "Sound Editor" page, as a future enhancemt...

Put an "Edit" button next to each of the alarms that can have sounds associated to them, that takes you to a "Note Editor" page. The "Note Editor" page would have the form of two columns of spin boxes, side by side, one for the note, and one for the duration. The number of rows would be the limit of the number of notes per sound. I didn't know what the current limit was, but I was going to suggest maybe 10 or 20, or whatever seemed reasonable for most users. (100 is really nice, but probably overkill for most people)

There would then need to be a "preview" button somewhere at the top of the page to allow playback of the tune. Just a thought.

I like it. It reminds me of those old cell phone apps that did pretty much the same thing. But putting all that in the tx may take up alot of memory space.

A computer program "deviation editor" that can create and store custom skins, icons, and sounds might me a better option. This "program" could also be used to download the data file and present it in a way that is more user friendly.

I just submitted this idea as an enhancement issue on the BitBucket page.

It would be nice to have a sound, allocated to a toggle. I noticed I hardly look at the screen, usually I look at my plane. (I think we all do..)

If I could have a sound, indicating a certain switch position, that would be great. For example:

Flight mode 1: nothing
Flight mode 2: beep every 10 seconds
Flight mode 3: beep-beep every 10 seconds

Support pattaya01 for this feature!!
although i usually find this sound-indicating-switch-pos feature in crappy remote control

but it's also a nice-to-have in deviationtx!

You should also file an enhancement ticket in bitbucket...

while I'm not keen on it repeating every x seconds, I do think playing a specific tune/beep string when entering a specific fmode or enabling a dual rate switch is a good idea

It could be customizable as well. For repeating one could set the number of seconds, no repeat could be 0.

OK, will do.
