Which baud rate for smoothest volume control
Hey! I am wondering which baud rate is the best for the smoothest control while also not going absolutely bonkers ahaha
#Which baud rate for smoothest volume control
low beacon
Apparently a rate 115200 doesn't work
for some reason

115200 should work, did you also change the baud rate in the sketch?
low beacon
I changed it in the sketch and the device settings
It still finds the arduino but doesn't change the volume
errant steppe
you need to change it in the config file
low beacon
I did
errant steppe
then it should work, tho do close anything else that might be using the COM port, like the Arudino software
low beacon
I was well aware of that. The software should tell you if the port is busy. Yet it connected but didn’t work.
Perhaps i need to put a dummy program onto the arduino before starting deej with a higher baud

I don't think the baud rate changes anything on how responsive it is... since it's only a small amount of data 9600 should not be the bottleneck
the 10 millisecond delay in the sketch is a much more significant smoothness
low beacon
It doesn't feel quite as smooth
errant steppe
also by default Deej changes the volume in steps of 3
low beacon
Yeah i noticed that
errant steppe
which can be steps of 2 by setting the noise reduction to low
and I believe there's a fork which makes it do 1
low beacon
Alrighty, any way i can modify the arduino sketch myself?
royal hound
If you want increments of 1 you need to modify the program code and build it yourself.
I probably wouldn't recommend it since the noise of the pots changing values every so slightly might cause your volume to just jump around +/- 1 without moving anything
Increasing the baudrate/lowering the delay should be fine for smoothness, I tested it with 115200 before and it worked fine but decided to stick with 9600
Does the serial monitor work when you increase the baudrate?
low beacon
I can try that later!
