Generic Level model values range is only about 3% on the iOS mesh app

[PM Bubblynet]

Hi, just posted this question on the Github project of the iOS app but I think this is the "official" place to ask...? :) anyways https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/IOS-nRF-Mesh-Library/issues/108

Short summary, when controlling the experimental dimming example with the iOS app the range is very small, doesn’t go from 0 to 100%, it does only from 0 to 3% (or 97% to 100% if you have the reversed pin polarity).

Android app works fine.

Hi.

Thank you for the feedback.

I'll forward this to our developers, and hopefully this will be fixed in an upcoming release.

Hi! thanks! any chance we could get some info for a hot fix by our ios developer?

Hi.

Our developers are looking into what the issue might be.

When they find out, I'll ask them if it's possible to find a hot fix for you.

Best regards,

Hi again!

So I found a weird conversion on ⁨IOS_App⁩ ▸ ⁨Example⁩ ▸ ⁨nRFMeshProvision⁩ ▸ ⁨ViewControllers⁩ ▸ ⁨NodeConfigurationView⁩ ▸ ⁨ModelConfigurationView⁩ ▸ ⁨didChangeSliderOnCell line 948:

var level = Int(((newSliderValue * 65535) / 100) - 32768)

I don't see why the / 100… anyways I removed and now it seems we have a full range from -32768 to +32768… but I dont know why the developer made that conversion and I dont know which test to run so we cant be sure I didn’t just bring a tons of bugs… so I think to leave this question open for now until someone with a bit more experience with the app can confirm the hot fix...

 I don't know too much about that specific app or iOS development in general, so I can't really comment on that. 

But I will update our developers about what you found and update you as soon as I have some more information from them.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Hi again.

Our developer, Roshan, answered the issue you opened in GitHub.

"The slider value is from ranges from 0.0 - 1.0 so I guess the mistake was the division by 100 forgetting the slider does not range from 0-100. In my opinion this should not break anything. Nice catch!"

Best regards.
