We're generally trying to steer away from build flags. What would the difficulties be of making these configurable through the UI? |
none. |
I think the plan was to support a default cfg file as a compile-time header -- all we needed to do was patch it in to
I always like to handwave that away as "ui problems" ;) We cover a lot with "advanced" panels that default closed. A full settings UI rework was always the plan... |
Personally I would like to see both options;
... I'd be happy to develop this pr further to add the UI option if favourable?
Perhaps we might hide it under an expandable "Advanced" button section (Say: "Advanced Button Overrides") - similar to "Colour Order Override": |
|
While I agree that it'd be nice to support build time configuration, I really don't want to have build flags for every cfg file entry -- we already have too many. Plus So from my end: no thank you for more preprocessor flags. A different, generally applicable solution for build-time initial configuration is needed. If you're interested in following up with build time configuration support, a PR to accept a default Re the UI: I'd be happy to leave the button press timing options out on the main button settings panel -- they seem useful to me. If others have strong feelings tha they belong under an advanced toggle, I think that's fine too. |
@willmmiles Thanks for the explanation on why we want to avoid adding more build flags. I'll update this pr to add to the UI and remove the build flags.
I'd be interested in looking over any previous work or discussion done towards this and potentially picking up where others left off if you could kindly point out where that discussion happened? |
Any objections to it looking like this?:

WLED_DEBOUNCE_THRESHOLD, WLED_LONG_PRESS and WLED_DOUBLE_PRESS were plain #defines with no way to change them without recompiling. Per discussion on wled#5844, expose them as runtime settings on the LED Preferences > Buttons page. Limits (Debounce 0-250ms, Long press 100-4000ms, Double press 0-1000ms) follow similar timing conventions used by Tasmota, OneButton and ESPHome for the same settings. Long press is capped below WLED_LONG_AP (5000ms) so a user-configured value can't collide with button 0's existing AP-mode/factory-reset hold thresholds.

I don't think there's a clear written record on GitHub. It's come up a couple of times in our team meetings and support channels, particularly in the context of factory configurations for vendors selling pre-built boards. The feature request was to allow explicitly defining a "factory" configuration with any settings (or combination thereof) without requiring maintaining a fork full of source code edits. The basic idea (at least as I understood it) was something along the lines of:
The "best possible" implementation might be to add another minification target to #5274 is somewhat related -- it's about building initial flash binaries with default files -- but that mechanism doesn't survive a factory reset, so it's not really suitable for board vendors who want to offer a preconfigured output or the like. Make sense? |
Fix stuck longPressed flag and add cfg.json validation for button timing Issue: buttonLongPressMs could be configured shorter than buttonDebounceMs, which leaves the longPressed flag stuck set across presses in some configs (the debounce-reject branch on release clears pressedBefore but not longPressed). Fix: Clamp buttonDebounceMs/buttonLongPressMs/buttonDoublePressMs to the same ranges as the UI when loading cfg.json (cfg.cpp). Issue: cfg.json deserialization applied none of the range checks the settings UI enforces. Fix: Clamp buttonDebounceMs/buttonLongPressMs/buttonDoublePressMs to the same ranges as the UI when loading cfg.json (cfg.cpp). Issue: Importing a config template silently skipped the new DB/LP/DP fields, so only the touch threshold carried over and the current form values were kept for timing instead. Fix: Populate DB/LP/DP from an imported config template, falling back to the current value when an older template omits a key (settings_leds.htm). Range changes, on top of the above: - Lower buttonDebounceMs max from 250ms to 100ms - most other button/debounce libraries (OneButton, Bounce2, ESPHome) treat ~50-100ms as the practical ceiling for real switch bounce; 250ms was too generous. - Lower buttonLongPressMs min accordingly, from 300ms to 200ms, keeping it just above the new 100ms debounce max so long press can never be shorter than debounce. - Raise buttonDoublePressMs min from 0ms to 100ms, since a 0ms window makes double-press physically impossible to trigger.

Some buttons are physically awkward to press quickly enough (e.g., buttons with long travel or stiff springs). Updating the button timing requires editing
button.cppdirectly and recompiling. This pr exposes them as runtime settings on the LED Preferences → Buttons page`.Limits
