Web UI over bluetooth very slow

Good to know! As the DuoX is something to have in a table, the scenario of having two (or more :smiley:) units in the same enviroment is something that should not be ā€œa rare scenarioā€.

For example, yesterday I wanted to send the config I made from one unit to the other. The only solution was to PUBLISH the setup online and the get it to the other Modā€¦ And talking about this, if you go to the public repo of pedalboards to get one, to which unit goes the config if you have both of them connected in Chrome?

DUOs need to be as good brothers and be able to co-exists peacefully :wink:

We hear you.

There are a couple of things we have in our priority list (mainly everything that is a Dwarf related feature, the early/beta batch with v1.10 does not everything we want/promised).

This is something we will not forget, and becomes specially useful for those that soon will have a Duo/X unit and a Dwarf as well.

Could a solution be to connect one of the two devices into the other one and then into the PC with some bridging involved (so that one of the device is on a subnet of the one connected to the PC ?)

I guessā€¦ but then one unit would be working extra hard, as it would basically be acting as a network switch.
not sure if this is possible to scale to more than 1+1 unit though

It looks like there have been developments on the Bluetooth 5 front recently?

If anyone tries, please report how good (or bad) it works.

Do you know if bluetooth 5 network is faster? If considerably faster, it would be worth updating the whole stack on the MOD side.

I just tried with the asus bt500 and it works now! Thanks a lot!

It takes a while to get into GUI and that experience is a bit slow

Thanks for verifying!

So, good that it works, but seems it is not an improvement over bluetooth 4 or 3.
Still, now at least there is a better caching system, so while slow the first time you open via bluetooth, hopefully further usage will make its use into bearable territory.

I havenā€™t tried with 3.0-4.0. The response time when twisting a knob on the duo x and seeing changes in GUI can be almost realtime I would say but sometimes slower. itā€™s just scrolling around and zooming in that is quite slow.

The caching system works good. much faster load time the 2nd time

Caching is for all BT connections, right @falkTX? My DUO now seems not as slow in the normal useā€¦ Anyway the cool thing would be to be able to have 2 (or more) DUO/X/Dwarf on the same computer without them collidingā€¦

Best case right now for multiple devices in the same PC is through WiFi WiFi - MOD Wiki

But yes, that is an advanced setup.

Can you recommend a USB wifi stick proven to work? Iā€™ve tried with 2 with different chipsets and I never got the error calling the concrete firmware, and one of them was a ā€œlinux provenā€ wifi stickā€¦

hmm right, I remember you mentioning that. Sorry I cant be of more help there.

The one I use is a Ralink one.
This Debian page lists the usb adapters that use the same driver mine does rt2800usb - Debian Wiki

Iā€™ve copied the file from the linux kernel dir to the /data/firmware directory (my stick also uses de rt2870.bin driver, as it has the RT5370 chipset), I unpluged the stick and even rebooted the MOD, and nothing, I always get this message:

Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/wpa-supplicant-wlan0.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

So I guess Iā€™m doing something wrongā€¦ Iā€™ll try tomorrow on the DUO X as you told me the kernel was newer and maybe it would be betterā€¦

just a correction. kernel is newer on duo, older on duo x.
