Bug report: LED issues with Space Throttle Grip

Postby Delta » Sun Apr 06, 2025 20:30

Hey, just some observations with LEDs on the space grip. Hope they are fixable in STECS firmware:
Color1+2 mode flashes visibly
From the LED documentation or high-speed camera / rolling shutter scans, we know that this color mode works by alternating quickly between color1 and color2. On most devices, this mixing is fast enough to be invisible without something like rapid head shakes. This is however not the case on the STG, where the colors alternate so slowly that it can be perceived as a fast blinking.
To reproduce, go to LED test (Test Misc Enabled=1 in zconfig.ini) and send a color1+2 test event to LEDs 10 or 11 on space STECS. Alternatively, it can be tested by reprogramming the zero event for LED 10/11 (event 6/7 on default) as Color1+2
Expected behavior: blend of color1 and color2
Observed behavior: flickering between color1 and color2

Off event leads to LED remaining on with different color
When the LED pattern is set to off on an STG LED, the LED sometimes lights up in a color not selected by the user instead of turning dark. This includes LEDs for which
Reproduction: Send any LED light-up event to the grip using Misc/LED test. Then send an off event. Alternatively, edit event 6/7 to have a condition instead of being Zero Event
Expected behavior: LED goes dark
Observed behavior: LED sometimes lights up in odd colors (orange for aft LED, pink or green for fwd LED

Both of these have been observed on STECS firmware 2.17.4 and 2.17.7 (unified).
