Description

@syyyr

Hello, with the new firmware update, there are new features available:

  • New ANC mode "Adaptive" shows up as unknown
$ pbpctrl get anc
unknown (4)
  • Case battery can now be seen even if no bud is in the case. Not sure if this is a firmware thing, or (Pixel phone) software. pbpctrl show battery only shows the battery if at least one bud is in the case
  • Head gestures for phone accept/reject
  • Loud noise protection (I'm not sure if it actually is included, because I see no option for it

    Also, with the new firmware, if you have the "Adaptive" mode in your ANC cycle, the cycle-prev and cycle-next do not work. If you don't include it, then everything works normally.

    ANC adaptive mode will be supported with #21.

    From what I can tell, that's done on the phone. At least if they didn't add another way to get battery information (the standard maestro response still returns null when the buds are out of the case).

    • Head gestures for phone accept/reject

    Looks like that's under settings ID 29 as int32 with values 1 for disabled and 2 for enabled. Bit weird that they didn't use a bool here. I'll try to poke at this some more and wire it up when I have a bit more time. I wonder if the gestures might be locale-specific or something?

    • noise protection (I'm not sure if it actually is included, because I see no option for it

    Might be something automatic that's not configurable, but could also be hidden away/inaccessible by default. Bit hard to track down without a settings option.
