A slider is an analog adjustment by nature… and not as easy to fine tune for precision as press button option. Just look at all the recent complaints about the slider changes now… many want the simple integer option back
If you really want to get precise, code in both course and smooth adjustments as is done on many bench-top power supplies… one widget gets you into the ballpark, the other fine tunes the precision.
But as the developers said, for precise adjustments there is the step.
And I think that a slider with 100 ticks can be adjust very well on a smartphone.
That said I agree that the integer option should be available, bot not block the float option.
PS: this thread was about another problem, not sliders
I never said I could reliably control that range just manipulate that thousandth digit if I was veeerrrry careful. However, simply mapping the resultant float value might give the control and range at the sketch level.
Personally, I would use my recommendation of a slider for ballpark and a step for precision… but then I haven’t needed such precision anyhow, so that is all theoretical.
Only those that can’t/won’t program and want ‘simple’ solutions it seems… I have seen a few who loved the inclusion of the step precisely for the precision.
Anyhow… this has gone past my interest level so carry on.
