You can turn it on/off. You cannot change the sound it makes without hacking the firmware or replacing the file jog.wav (Assuming you know how to putty into the Pronto).

Dev Guide.

A.1.1.8. activity.rotarySound
(available since application version 7.2.4)
Purpose
Controls the rotary click sound.
Read/Write : RW
Value : Boolean
When set to true (the default), turning the rotary wheel on the control panel will cause click
sounds to be played, if the rotary is enabled (Because of an action list assigned to the rotary in the
configuration file, or when an onRotary callback is set for the activity). When set to false, no
sound will be played.

CF.activity().rotarySound=(boolean);

Lyndel,
where do I have to put this "CF.activity().rotarySound=(false);

?

Here is my activity script (found here in the forum) :

var clickCount = 0;

onRotary = function(clicks)
{
var accClicks;
var absClicks = Math.abs(clicks);
if (absClicks > 2)
{
var temp = absClicks-1;
accClicks = parseInt( (Math.exp(temp))/temp);
if (clicks < 0)
{
accClicks = -accClicks;
}
}
else
{
if (clicks > 0)
{
accClicks = 1;
}
else if (clicks < 0 )
{
accClicks = -1;
}
else
{
n=0;
}
}
/*use the accelerated clicks (accClicks) */
if(accClicks)
{
var speed = 3;// Change the value here to change the scroll speed
clickCount += accClicks;

if(clickCount > speed)// Clockwise
{
clickCount = 0;
CF.widget("Right +","WidgetPage").executeActions();// Executes the actions of this

button when the rotary wheel is moved clockwise
}
else if(clickCount < -(speed))// Counter-clockwise
{
clickCount = 0;
CF.widget("Left -","WidgetPage").executeActions();// Executes the actions of this button

when the rotary wheel is moved counter-clockwise
}
}
};

Please note that it requires the later firmware as documented above.... The 9800 should have this firmware version by default I think.

Note that the latest PEP allows you to assign actions to the Rotary Wheel Left/Right without having to use script.


Here's the change. Note that you should use the 'this' keyword to be explicit whenever in an activity, page, or button script. If you want to know the meaning of 'this', I think I have a thread that was posted describing the object that that keyword refers to depending on where the script is located/running.


var clickCount = 0;

this.rotarySound=false;

this.
onRotary = function() {

...

}

Here's a link to a thread discussing 'this'.

Lyndel,
I've putted it into the activity script but the click sound doesn't go away.

What is the Application Version from the Info screen of your 9800?

If you have latest firmware, maybe it's an assignment ordering issue.

Change to this.


var clickCount = 0;


this.onRotary = function() {

...

}

this.rotarySound=false;

So, the Dev Guide does not state this and IMO, it should.

You must assign rotarySound to false after setting the onRotary function.

There is one major drawback:

Immidiatly after entering the the activity with "rotary" and turning the scroll wheel the click sound isn't deactivated.
I think it's because of the setting after the onRotary function.
So the click sound is still present.
After the onRotary function begins to run  (after fractions of seconds)
the rotary sound disappears just as wanted.
It would be better to place the setting before or at the beginning the rotary function but this doesn't work.
I think that it hasn't been properly thought out by Philips.

It is a bug IMO. the onRotary and rotarySound should not be coupled together. Setting the onRotary function should not cause the rotarySound flag to revert to true.
