From 9b5d71778879f04f22e1cac7cfc82d50246ce47a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: buster_dylan Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:00:43 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Improve tap-mode reliability for 04f3:0c6e and similar non-blocking devices MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Key changes: - bz3_threshold: 10 → 2 (better match rate on small swipe sensor frames) - ELAN_MIN_FRAMES: 4 → 1 (accept single-frame captures rather than discarding) - ELAN_SKIP_LAST_FRAMES: 2 → 0 (use all captured frames; tap mode has no trailing blurry frames) - ELAN_FINGER_TIMEOUT: 200 → 350ms (more time to re-detect finger between frames) - Poll delay on non-blocking devices: 50 → 10ms (faster finger detection response) - Dark frame: mark_failed → mark_completed (don't abort if a frame is below background) Together these bring verification match rate from ~50% to ~70% on the ASUS 04f3:0c6e sensor.
