3.1.0 Sensitivity

[digitalelements]

I've starting working with my multi drum sketch again with Version 3.1.0. When I uploaded the new Library, I got the warning below which looked like i was trying to access a parameter that was private ? ( sensitivity )

I've also included my sketch for you review ... It shows my new numbers since changing to a 1K resistor from a 10K
I believe you may have mentioned that I should not use the array in the beginning of the sketch ?
The sensitivity is pretty important for the kick as it starts to play strangely without it (80)

Sorry, I changed it to setSensitivity(). That jives better with setWaitTime().

I believe you may have mentioned that I should not use the array in the beginning of the sketch ?

I was saying you could delete const int pressPin [10] = {A0,A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6,A7,A8,A9}; // ANALOG pin since that never actually gets used in the sketch. Also 1, 127 is the default output range so you could omit those Pad*.outputRange(1, 127) calls. You could also set sensitivity in the constructor instead of using setSensitivity().

Try this.

#include "MIDIcontroller.h"

// digitalelements FSR USB Module 8

byte MIDIchannel = 10;

// Pin & Note number
MIDIdrum Pad0(A0, 36, 80);
MIDIdrum Pad1(A1, 38, 99);

MIDIdrum Pad3(A3, 65, 99);
MIDIdrum Pad4(A4, 69, 99);

MIDIdrum Pad6(A6, 65, 99);

Ahhh that's excellent !! .. thank you so much. I can see now that the sensitivity is built in with pin and note. sorry for note noticing that. you must be an early riser ? .. btw I did try to encapsulate my sketch with the proper characters to make it display properly ... has this changed again ?

[joshnishikawa]

You have to use a triple backtick followed by a newline.

```

[digitalelements]

sorry :( got it now

[digitalelements]

I've had a good go with the latest Library .. I did notice that the version number still showed 3.1.0 in this build in the arduino IDE. The code tweaks you've made with the multi drum sketch a very nice. I did notice I had to lower the Kick input range to start at 12. for some reason. it wants to be a bit lower to help eliminate the odd beater resting pressure on the sensor. The pedal start stop + pad sketch is outstanding. thank you kindly. I'll be doing more testing and tweaks over the weekend. learning to rename my Teensy so I can have all 3 devices connected at all times. btw did you happen o see the e-mail I sent about sensors ?

[joshnishikawa]

This is weird. I'm sure I posted a reply to this but now it's not here.

Thanks for that. If I don't get it right with the release, it'll be a nightmare.

Are you saying that you're getting extra triggers if the input range doesn't start low enough?

[digitalelements]

It sure feels that way. I'll be spending more time with it to confirm. It oddly feels like it can trigger on the release of the FSR. I'm going to try and improve my plotter sketch so I can watch the input better. this sketch in the old IDE didn't jump around. not sure why it does in the new IDE.

[joshnishikawa]

I think we've resolved the issue that this thread started on. Version 3.1.3 is officially released now so let's start a new thread for any problems that persist (or emerge) there.
