Vibration support

#1 Post by frumpy »

Hi guys,

I wonder if there will be a future function of using the vibration on some Android-devices?
I'd like to add a little haptic feedback to pressing a button.

What should trigger the vibration?

The click of a virtual button, like typing a message on a smartphone. I'm thinking of a CDU,
where you e.g. enter the names of waypoints. A single sinus-wave would do.

You have the button callbacks. But you'll need an Arduino with a DAC to make a sine wave, or have an external DAC. You can control those through our Arduino Message Port library.

Hm, I'm talking about Android devices, no Arduino. Like a smartphone with an inbuilt vibration motor. :)

It's like vibrate feature we find in ringtone vs vibrate, but here when we are typing with fingers on the Android phone or device touch screen (vibration triggered when typing on virtual keyboard or virtual numpad on the android device)

Here's some vibration we could activate for the ring (not what's is needed here, as it's rather on typing virtual keys on the device, but just as a sample to understand the required vibration)

If Corjan can access the haptic stuff via the Android/iOS API then I guess that could work in Air Manager.

Someone else was tying haptic type feedback but using the desktop version just recently. Interesting to see where this goes.

I realize the feedback on typing the touch screen on Android, would be very useful in order to know if we are typing the right way : proper button, switch, dial location
