controlling winamp volume

**wilgartw** · 07-06-2009, 11:47 AM

yep, i'm using winamp 2.95 (this too was on an old post). I'll have a good play tonight to see what's what.

i'll give the dragging of the target a go. will it matter that i am developing on my home pc, rather than my carputer?

It shouldnt matter assuming you have the same software.

same software (winamp 2.95, roadrunner etc), but one is on XP, one on vista. i presume this won't be an issue.

If you are using Vista you have to run it in Administrator mode. (Right click run as admin). Just being an admin on the computer is NOT enough.

hello, at home now.

i am in the logic diagrams, i have a timer (alarm clock item) that sets the dTime. is this the minumum vote time?

yes exactly. Value is in milliseconds.

ok, i had my first button working (rewind)

so i steamed ahead and added another 2 analogue inputs.
set up the send key for play/pause and ffwd.

it appears that ony the last one i set up works (button 1 has stopped working, only button 3 works).

any ideas?

Code:

  <!-- Begin Logic Declarations -->
    <all_statements>
      <if fire_on="input" minimum_delta_vote_time="500" id="Root Function #">
        <boolean_operation type="greater than">
          <parameter1>
            <analogue id="button1" time="0"></analogue>

            <number>2.5</number>
          </parameter2>
        </boolean_operation>
        <then>

        </then>
      </if>
      <if fire_on="input" minimum_delta_vote_time="500" id="Root Function #2">

            <number>3</number>
          </parameter2>
        </boolean_operation>
        <then>
          <do function="Send Key" functionTargetID="Winamp v1.x:Winamp v1.x" vote_opinion="C" vote_priority="Low"></do>
        </then>
      </if>
      <if fire_on="logic" minimum_delta_vote_time="100" id="Root Function #3">
        <boolean_operation type="greater than">
          <parameter1>
            <analogue id="button3" time="0"></analogue>
          </parameter1>
          <parameter2>
            <number>3</number>

you have the timers set to input on 2 of them, and logic on the last. There was an update to MDX but not the configurator yet, that deleted the "input" and "output" timers and replaced them with a single "io" timer.

I suggest placing all logic blocks on the logic timer.

that did the trick - nearly there!

each button is doing something.... but not necessarily what it has been asked to ... when i press button 2, button 1 and 3 also register voltage.

i read something about this today whilst researching but cannot remember where. do i need to connect all the -ve pins together (or something?)
