I am happy you find the improvements useful!

Thanks.

@SteveV Hi!

You mean you cannot enter IP address due to not having any period ('.') character available?

This is not normal. Can you try changing the keyboard from Android settings and see if the issue persists?

I am "forcing" the number keyboard when user touches the IP field... In most cases, the keyboard also shows other characters. Anyway, I will fix this ASAP - I have a release lined up right now. I will probably take a day or two...

Best regards,
Klemen

@Bernard Yes, you have wrong credentials. This is what's causing the problem. You have changed the settings somehow...

I advise you to clear application data or uninstall and reinstall the application. This will reset the settings to default. Alternatively, you could input the correct settings, but I recommend reinstall... It will be easier for you. Then retry pairing.

Note that you must keep the default settings if you want to connect to GUI-O server!

@jeremy0 Hi.

@kl3m3n said in Connection status?:

Connection monitor (separate for each connection type). If the feature is enabled, GUI-O app requires periodic messages (e.g., ping) after first received message. Otherwise, it will disconnect and enter error state. I will also support that the feature can be enabled from the controller command.

Implemented. See the latest manual, section Connection monitor.
I did not support enabling / disabling the connection monitoring via the commands. This can only be done in-app.

@kl3m3n said in Connection status?:

Any error that causes a disconnect will clear the UI.

Implemented.

@kl3m3n said in Connection status?:

Add support for @disconnect command. This will make it possible to send a disconnect request from the controller side. This will also clear the UI. User can then reconnect via the "Connect" button on top-left part of the home screen.

Implemented. See latest manual.

@kl3m3n said in Connection status?:

Add some sort of connected indicator when connected and on home screen (no UI loaded).

Implemented. A small indicator in the top-right corner of Connect button (home screen) shows if device is connected (green dot) or disconnected (red dot).

@jeremy0 Hi,

the main aspect of GUI-O is to be as generic as possible. So with this in mind, I will add the following features:

• Connection monitor (separate for each connection type). If the feature is enabled, GUI-O app requires periodic messages (e.g., ping) after first received message. Otherwise, it will disconnect and enter error state. I will also support that the feature can be enabled from the controller command.

• Any error that causes a disconnect will clear the UI.

• Add support for @disconnect command. This will make it possible to send a disconnect request from the controller side. This will also clear the UI. User can then reconnect via the "Connect" button on top-left part of the home screen.

• Add some sort of connected indicator when connected and on home screen (no UI loaded).

BTW:
May i suggest that you create an indicator that you periodically toggle from the controller side. This way, you will know when connection is active.

@jeremy0 Hi

Thank you for the detailed explanation. If you can do more tests, that would be great! If I can reproduce your issue I will be able to solve it more quickly.

Meanwhile, I will think about how to improve the user experience in such cases. I can't remember exactly, but I think that I wanted to keep the UI after error for some reason.
BTW: The ping idea seems a valid proposition. I could add an option to enable a "heartbeat" message, which would then use the current @ping -> @pong functionality. The app will expect a periodic ping from the controller (after receiving first message) and send a response - just like now, but it would also disconnect with an error message if ping is not received within the specified interval.

If you enable autoconnect, GUI-O will try to periodically re-establish the connection. Without autoconnect, it just latches the error.

@jeremy0 said in Connection status?:

(And while I think of it: I can't see a way to return to the main menu screen from a UI page, other than having the target issue @quitapp in response to a button press - which is great, but only works if the target is connected and responsive. The rest of the time I have to actually switch away from the app altogether and relaunch it.)

Try swiping from the left to right (edge of screen) to open the settings menu. Then press the "home" icon on top-right of the screen. This will clear the UI and return you to the "home screen".

@jeremy0 Hi!

In TCP connection, GUI-O is the client and should detect disconnection from the server. Furthermore, if "autoconnect" is enabled it should periodically try to reconnect.

Can you give more information about your setup, so i can try to reproduce the issue you are describing?

Best regards,

@RudiP

I have prepared version v1.0.106 - you will be notified within the app when the upgrade is available. This version also fixes your issue.

If you feel like it, please support GUI-O and leave a feedback on the app store (please make sure you are not in the Beta testing program before giving feedback - you can tap on the Leave button):

@RudiP Hi Rudi,

yes, you are right - the drop down box does not support spaces.

The DAL parameter does not support spaces (for LST, TU and DRB widgets).

I will see if I can fix this.

Best regards,
Kl3m3n

@RudiP Hi Rudi,

can you explain a bit more? Please give an example of what you are trying to do.

GUI-O supports spaces from its initial release in all text fields. It also supports some more advanced outputs...

Best regards,
Kl3m3n

@RudiP No problem

@RudiP said in MBCH koliko label in podatkov lahko pokažem:

Hi Rudi,

please write in English, so others can understand more easily. You can use Google Translate or ChatGPT to translate your text to English.
I translated your text, but please in the future try to use English.

How do you know that MBCH only allows 5 values and 5 labels? Did you try initializing it with 7 values and 7 labels, for example:

"|MBCH UID:mbch0 X:50 Y:50 MCHV:\"1,4,9,16,25,36,49\" MCHL:\"bar0,bar1,bar2,bar3,bar4,bar5,bar6\"\r\n"

@somasundaram-i Please try version 1.0.104, when it becomes available (you need to be in a beta tester program).

I would appreciate some feedback, when you test it.

Best regards,
