Re: Keys still don't register in the latest version of HP-49G+ Message #16 Posted by James M. Prange on 28 Feb 2004, 6:56 p.m., in response to message #15 by Pocketcom Mania
Doing 2000 \->KEYTIME means that if the same key is pressed again in less than 2000 ticks (1 tick = 1/8192 second), it won't register. This is intended as a debouncing method. The 49G's default of 1365 seems a bit high for many users. The 49g+ uses a default of 0, which suggests to me that the developers didn't expect that this method of debouncing was needed. I'd suggest using a non-zero keytime "just in case", but make it small enough that it won't reject intentional consecutive presses of the same key. I use a value of 512 (1/16 second), as I'm sure that I can't intentionally press the same key twice in that interval, but I suppose that the "best value" depends on the user.
