Combine Step Fire + Auto Fire Programming on Device
D
Dominik Motoła
Requested Feature:
Ability to combine step fire and auto fire in one sequence (e.g., step fire channels 1-4, then auto fire channels 5-9)
Program this directly from the remote/device without needing computer access
Critical for last-minute firing sequence modifications before shows when computer isn't available

While I personally understand this as being very beneficial, I would feel like this would be very difficult to navigate on an 18R2 interface or even the interface of the new 18R3. With such limited buttons it would be more difficult to make the changes on the remote if they were able to implement the ability versus using a tablet or laptop with a full touch screen or keyboard.
I would think it may be more practical to implement a ability to make limited changes through the ControlPanel application, or the new web interface that they are working on. Even then with the complexity of scripts that people are making, a line would have to be drawn somewhere to limit the change abilities. However this would still require having an extra device. At that point you could just edit the .csv file like normal.
Just my thoughts.

What about an app for cell phones that lets you make up simple sequences and see basic reports?
Most phones have USB C output ability so easy (??) to interface
Much simpler than the control panel but gives a color touch screen interface too simplify interactions.

Russ Gardiner I make minor changes with my Tablet regularly, but just editing the .csv file with a spreadsheet application and reupload the script to my 18R2 using the thumb drive. Works great for simple last minute changes. I keep my tablet with me at displays to use with ControlPanel anyways. A USB-C to USB-A adapter works great.
