Corona® Ultimote v1.4 - New Version!

M.Y.developers · March 2, 2012, 7:08pm

Hello Overbeat,

We have fixed your problems. Please redownload the library files from:
http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/site/Ultimote/UltimoteDistribution.zip
Make sure the first line of the ultimote.lua says

Corona® Ultimote v 1.43

As google Chrome was refusing to re download and using a cached copy.

We were able to get the location event to fire by un-registering all listeners and registering the location event every time you restart the simulator by using the registerEvents command. If you do not use ultimote.registerEvents function in your initialization code then you will not get GPS events because of the power saving feature we were talking about earlier. The following code effectively forces the device to give you a location event every time you restart the simulator:

local ultimote = require("Ultimote")  
ultimote.registerEvents{"touch","location"}  
system.setLocationAccuracy(5)  
system.setLocationThreshold(0)  
ultimote.connect()

The system.setLocationAccuracty and setLocationThreshold are forwarded to the device and essentially increases the frequency of location events. Please use those lines in your initialization code.

As for the swipe demo, everything works smoothly now. There was an error in handling the touch event dispatch code. Thank you for pointing out this error.

Please let us know if all this works and if you have any more questions/comments.

love your app and are using it a lot.

I wonder if the screen orientation of the app can be locked, I did not find any option for that, it would be useful with certain tests. For me it is flipping between landscape and portrait and landscape left right, which is unwanted. [import]uid: 109677 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 91536[/import]

Hello Une,

Thanks for your interest! Are you using an iOS device? We were able to get the desired behavior by going into the settings and enabling screen lock. Unfortunately on Android devices there seems to be a bug that prevents screen lock on applications. If you want we can send you a portrait only and landscape only versions of our app. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Hello, I am using an iOS device. Could you please point out how to enable screen lock, I was searching inside the app and in the device settings but still could not find that setting. Thank you. [import]uid: 109677 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 91879[/import]

Hello Une,

Sorry about the delay. If you have an ipod touch you can double click on the home button and a menu bar should pop up. scroll all the way to the left and you should see a screen lock option. For an ipad this option should be available in the preferences menu.

dataskrekk_lab · March 9, 2012, 2:05pm

Hello, sorry, I was thinking you were referring to a setting inside the app. The iOS setting, as far as I have seen, does not provide this functionality, e.g. lock to landscape right. [import]uid: 109677 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 92245[/import]

M.Y.developers · April 14, 2012, 7:16pm

@All,

New version for Android. The back button will now not exit the app allowing you to send the back event. Also, the in app options menu is removed because it takes up space and it is redundant.

Hi MY,
I’ve been on hiatus and just picked up my project again and continue the code but something doesn’t seem to work like it used to.
Now, after I make the connection my fps drops to half and when I touch my phone it basically crawls to just <10fps.

I don’t know what I do wrong here, I already remove all ultimoteobject=true property from the button and all.
Is there something I should know regarding how to use ultimote?, I had earlier version that works just fine and I’m using the same piece of code to connect the ultimote.

Thanks

MY doesn´t seem to be interested in our problems and the Ultimote app is broken (probably after an iOS updater or something).

I paid 20USD last week for this so I am somewhat angry why they are still selling this non-working application.

I will try to get Apple to remove it from their store. [import]uid: 164079 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 117566[/import]

Hello Roberto/Renato,

we assumed from the no responses from the thread:
https://developer.coronalabs.com/forum/2011/11/25/corona®-ultimote-sale-15-today-only-0

That the issue was resolved. The application worked just fine on the simulator and worked on the devices we have here (ipod4.) The update also went past apple’s rigorous approval process where they should have tested it on all devices. Have you installed the update?

Just send us your paypal address and we will send you a full refund.

I’ve bought the iOS version. Is the Android version available for free?

I can’t get the accelerometer to work in realtime. Is it supposed I have to record a macro for that. I thought it worked in real time.

If I can’t get the accelerometer in realtime, that is a disgrace, I expected that when I bought the software.

Can you let me know how to get it to work?

Thanks, Adrian [import]uid: 115838 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 117621[/import]

M.Y.developers · July 30, 2012, 6:31pm

Hello Adrian,

Have you enabled the accelerometer in the options menu? Other than than you should not have to do anything else for it to work. Were you able to get multitouch to work?

" Is the Android version available for free?"
Yes if you bought the iOS version we will give you android for free. We can either send you the apk file or you can buy it on the store and we can issue a refund. We perfer option B as it will allow you to get automatic updates.

adrian.tschubarov · July 30, 2012, 6:40pm

Wow that was really quick!

I am in the hospital and have nothing to do but play with corona and ultimote.

I could get the multitouch to work perfectly.
i have ony four options in the options menu:

multi-touch
compass
location
buttons

I dont see the accelerometer option

(I just got a bug with the options menu. it took an x and y position equal to halfW and halfH and I can now open lots of instances of options menu)

I would like to collaborate with the user interface, it needs to be other thing than the current one. I will try to plan donating some hours to make it better if you want to.

Back to the accelerometer, what else can I do? I am using iphone 3g, up to date iOS. is that an issue?

Cheers. Adrian [import]uid: 115838 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 117626[/import]

Hi

Thanks for your super quick reply, that is Customer Support!!

As you stated in your email it worked for me perfectly adding this to main.lua

ultimote = require “Ultimote”;
ultimote.connect();

ultimote.registerEvents({“touch”,“accelerometer”}); – very important at least for me, it started sending accelerometer in REAL TIME!!

Now Ultimote became a very cool toy and tool (I still dont know, because I am working and getting fun at the same time)

Thank you very much, Adrian [import]uid: 115838 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 117639[/import]

Hello Adrian,

No problem. We are glad you got it working. A fix is on its way to the app store but we will send you a binary tomorrow. Hope you get well soon!

This product is so full of bugs its a miracle that Apple allowed it through. It crashes for no reason and has never gotten through the alpha stage. Just avoid it. [import]uid: 142021 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 127839[/import]

M.Y.developers · October 18, 2012, 1:29pm

Hello Rn_999,

Sorry you are having issues. It is probably because of the new iOS “updates.” Apple seems to always ignore backward compatibility with every single iOS update. In any case we will look into the issue and we can give you a refund if you wish. We can also give you our android version to try out if you like.

M.Y. Developers [import]uid: 55057 topic_id: 17667 reply_id: 127857[/import]
