TimeCore Display selected source

[sander88]

I have managed to set up the left button of the TimeCore so that it cycles between input sources {ltc, midi, artnet} but now i want to show the new input breefly on the display.

I have firugred that there is a System-> Display -> Set task, which is perfect. But it can only accept a string value. Is there like a variable of some type (something like for example #source# ) that gives me the current input?

I think the best would be to directly increment a variable with the button.
Create a Variable action list with 6 actions. For each value of the variable between 0 and 4 create 2 tasks, one for setting the timecore source to a specific input, and the other one to display the source name on the led screen.
Use the last action, to loop the. variable value when it reaches 5 then set the value back to 0.
And also create a system action list to set the variable to a value in the 0-4 range when the timecore starts.
Enjoy,

Hi there,

I made a Show Control Setup which is exactly what you are searching for,
See attached file (use vManager app to import backup).

How to use:

• short press left button: changes to internal and increment the hour
• long press left button: changes the input source (and displays selected name)
• short press right button: play/pause internal timecode
• long press right button: reset/stop internal timecode

@Julien: Feel free to add this to the internal templates if you want - I think it's useful for using the device without a computer ...

Cheers
Matthias

Hi Mathias, thank you for sharing your work.
It looks a really clever way of using the buttons.
