Program visualization / sync signal
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2020 3:27 pm
When playing with people remotely with the 2B I've often wished there would be some decent visualization on the Connect website or any of the tools available, especially when the person controlling the device doesn't have much estim experience or maybe owns a device that is quite different from the 2B and its routines.
The manual with its descriptions and drawing of the programs does a very poor job explaining those tbh, and I'm imagining something more along the lines of a real time chart showing the rising and falling of the channels etc with proper timescale and so forth... kind of very simplified, visual versions of the actual output functions.
Thought a couple of times about creating something myself, but there are a few speedbumps on the road...
* one would have to tediously collect timing values of the different programs at different settings to even get anywhere in the neighborhood of the actual behavior
* it would be pretty much impossible to keep the visualization in sync with the actual unit and even if initially achieved they'd drift away over time quite quickly
Does anybody know if there's a good compilation of descriptions and possibly runtime data of the 2B routines somewhere available? Anything that goes beyond the manual?
Is there any kind of timing signal the 2B emits if connected to a computer for something like every cycle of a program or similar? Anything that could be used to keep a visualization in sync with the actual device? If not, is that something that could be part of a future firmware version?
