It stops. To ramp again, release the button and hold it again.
At the top end, it can sometimes be difficult to tell when it stopped. OTOH, it can also sometimes be difficult to see the blink at the top end, particularly when looking into the distance outside.
BC blinks. As you said, bottom and top of the ramp are pretty obvious anyway. But as long as they can be changed at compile time I’m good with anything.
I like the blink at moon because the Crescendo UI ramps down and up without stopping. and I like to know when I reach the bottom of the same reasons people like to know when the top is reached. Don’t like to press again to make sure.
ABCD blinks.
One thing I don’t like about ramping firmware is not knowing where I am, how much power is being used.
Blinks at these stages help greatly.
Personally I like the blinks at A and D. C would be helpful to know when you are leaving/entering full regulation. I don’t think b is really needed as you can just have it where you need/want it
If you are ramping up and hit the C point are people actually quick enough to stop it before it ramps over? I have a habit of redoing contact with the tail on the D4 to make sure it’s at a regulated level.
My preference is no blinks. Maybe a blink at D but definitely no mid-ramp blinks. Ramping UIs are much cooler when you can smoothly go from moonlight to max.
I think if there was a ‘shortcut’ to a known regulated level, ie 150lm, does that negate the need for blinks for some users?
Just my 2c though, naturally you should do whatever gets most votes.
Will be good if it possible UI can be switched to very simple mode so old and other people can use it.
For ex. On-Ramp-Off, On-On-Turbo-Off.
Enough…
And even with incorrect clicks, the mode can not be changed. Mandatory without memory, so always can starts from known/familiar position.
Maybe something like 16 clicks for total mode changing…
Some older people I know lost themselves in Q8 because of their short memory and the many features/modes of the device.
You know that when we buy for our parents, the price is not as important as the exact satisfaction of their needs.
