Readout knob sticks with snap

Hi All

I have just discovered a problem with the readout knob module. When you turn on the snap function, when the knob snaps to the snap point the value freezes and the label does not return.

I have been looking all afternoon but not found out why yet. If I do I'll post here.

You mean this? [old link]

No... he means the readout does not update when step is activated.

The interact boolean is broken by the float trigger limiter. It may give other problems too (automation?).

If you bypass the S&H/Float Limiter this feature will work properly.

Sorry to be a pain Oddson. I have found (I think) the float trigger limiter you mention (in the moving part module?) and have tried to bypass it in different ways but with no joy. 😕

I thought the problem was because the interact boolean is only triggered by mouse interaction at the next module down (knob control) and the snap functions do not appear to trigger the interact boolean at all.

Any chance you could post and OSM?

Sorry... it looked like that fixed it but when I try to replicate it's not working.

I'll have to try some more but the interact is clearly part of the problem as it's the only control coming out of the guts to the display that could conceivably tell the display when to switch back.

A 'false' trigger bypassing the trigger blocker in the 'Start Interact' module of the 'Smart Label' resets the string after interact goes false (but only after you do the first fix).

😍 Thanks Oddson. That seems to work well. As ever I was looking the wrong place 😊

Thanks again.
