Audio feedback when not doing anything?

davidstosik opened this issue · comments

Hello there, just received and installed my Megadesk, and I'm super happy with it!

I enabled the audio feedback (memory position 17), and I like getting feedback on my button presses (the increasing pitch is genius!).

I noticed however that every now and then, the Megadesk will output a single beep, although I haven't touched it in hours. I imagine it's doing something like waking up and checking the desk position, but I was wondering if there would be a way to turn off that single beep while keeping the button press and result audio feedback?

Thanks a lot for working on this, it's great!

Hey David - I'll enable my audio feedback and see if I can repro this issue.

Okay, confirmed. It's very very fait and brief, just a quiet blip?

Yup, that's correct. :)

I think it might be one of the audio feedback sections in linBurst(). I'll try to comment that out and see if that fixes things up.

Ok flashed, I'll see how it goes :)

If it does resolve the issue you will need a programmer to update your firmware. More info : https://github.com/gcormier/megadesk/blob/master/DIY.md#programming

Yeah I thought that might be feedback in linBurst() too.
I probably have a programmer somewhere deep in my stuff, will have to take a look.
If I solder male pins, will it still fit in the case?

Yes it will still fit. Alternatively you can just press and hold a 6pin header in the through holes while programming. It's how I program the units I build.

I think this commit resolved it. Have you been able to flash yours to confirm?

I haven’t yet. I need to find some free time to

  • solder the header
  • find my programmer
  • setup platformio
  • compile and flash

Hopefully next weekend.

An update: I couldn't find an AVR programmer in my stuff, so I had to figure out how to use an Arduino Uno as programmer:

It seems I managed to flash the board! 🎉

Now I'll have to wait a few days and confirm whether I hear unexpected blips from Megadesk. 🤞🏻

Latest release is out and fixes this.

Oh by the way, I think I haven't hear a blip since I flashed the board. 👍🏻
Thank you!
