[Fixed] Distorted beeps when scrolling through Last Heard

Post by kt4lh » Wed Apr 01, 2020 5:45 pm

This is obviously a pretty small problem, but figured I'd mention it in case it's an actual issue. When you hold up or down to scroll though Last Heard the beeps sound weird.

I have a feeling this might be the CPU being busy doing lookups etc and that's all fine, not suggesting doing anything crazy to fix it just thought I'd mention it in case there's more going on here.

This bug looks like it happens on any screen. e.g. It also happens on the Channel Screen when you press and hold the Up or Down arrow.

I'll log it a bug on Github

Cool, thanks Roger, I certainly could have logged a bug but sometimes I'm torn between trivial thing and a real bug. :) I couldn't find any other screen it did it on, like changing talkgroups. Thank you!

It’s fixed now.

See any of the recent versions I posted.

The problem was the display render task blocking the beep task in the RTOS.

I found the task blocking in the display render was unnecessary, so I removed it, and it has actually improved some of the display updating
