Hi Mike,
sorry I didn't intend to play down the efforts that are necessary to support flic buttons, of course I am aware that some code changes will be required to enable that MSP can interface with the flic app. I was just a bit "surprised" at first when you mentioned UI and configuration changes because during the setup on my iPad Pro with Forscore, there was nothing to be done in the Forscore app. The procedure, if I remember correctly, was like this:
- download the flic app and create a flic user account
- log in to the flic app
- turn on bluetooth, scan for new buttons and press the button to be paired
- After pairing, a button icon will appear and will react to button presses (single, double or long) optically and accoustically.
- Then, also within the flic app, you can configure the button actions. The app provides a list of supported apps, you take your choice [e.g. Forscore], and then you get a list of supported actions [e.g. next page, previous page, ...] and which button press you would like to assign to this action [e.g. single press]. You can also choose if a sound should be played when a button is pressed.
- Save.
That worked fine for me, however it only works with the flic app running in the background.
There are 2 version of the flic button: Version 1 only worked with the flic app running whereas with the new version 2, native support is possible without the flic app. However native support is not a must IMHO.
