Ok I am missing something. I have looked in an xml setup by the wizard for a momentary button but can't find it. Can someone please tell me how to setup a momentary button.

Thanks

There is an example in the default skin. But, if you're starting from scratch...
Momentary isn't a 'option' that you can select per se.
What you do is use both the downclick and upclick properties. for downclick, set the controlled parameter (output in this case) to 'on' and then set the upclick to 'off'. You can mess with the duration by adjusting the minimum timings.

You can control a variable sinilarly with vote opinions of 'true'/'false' or '+1'/'+0' respectively.

Hmmm That is exactly what I am doing. The funny thing is. If I click off center on the button it works. But if I click in the center it stays on. Also if I use voice control it stays on. It is driving me nuts. Of course that was a short trip. I will keep kicking it and see if I can get it working.

I think, if you look in the suggestion thread, that there is a fix for the "off center" problem. An update that should probably be out shortly. For me it didn't work unless I clicked on the top half of the button. I'm not sure if the fix fixes the voice thing, I haven't tried that yet.

Yes it is fixed in the newer version. It isnt out yet as it will require a driver change.

But as for voice control, there is no "upclick" for a voice vote.

Also to do a momentary button automatically using the wizard, click the checkbox by the digital output that says momentary.

Ok cool. Bummer on the voice. I am using it to open the passenger door. So all it has to do is trigger a relay for a second. And was also going to use it to start the truck. Back to the drawing board..

Couldn't you try something like using a voice to make a variable a 1 and then do a loop with a long enough timer setting to toggle that 1 back to a zero. And then another loop to fire the output:

IF(VOICE COMMAND VARIABLE = 1) THEN (OUTPUT = ON) ANTITHEN (OUTPUT=OFF)

if more than one then statement worked you could use a second antithen statement:
(VOICE COMMAND VARIABLE = 0) and set the timer for the minimum on time that you want.<<<EDIT this won't provide the timing I had originally thought, but I've been up all night, and the other idea below should work anyway.

but that doesn't work quite yet, so use a second loop to do that job..

(I'm sorry for stating "root functions" as "loops" so much, its a habit for me, I'll try to break it but just know that's what I mean if I slip up.)

IF(VOICE COMMAND VARIABLE = 1) THEN (VOICE COMMAND VARIABLE = 0)

this second root function should probably be placed prior to the first one, to ensure that there is a sufficient delay as set by your timer setting (in milli-Seconds).

Kind of cluncky, but with a little trial and error, I bet you can get that to work.

Then all you need to do is make your voice command change a variable to "1".

You have voice trigger the output or a variable, and you have logic clean it up either immediately, or after a period of time (use the minimum delta vote easiest)

Ok. Thanks for the info. I think I am going to wait until the new version of software is released. And I also have a new headset/mic coming so I can make sure it is 'hearing' correctly.
