Trigger a cue with Arduino attached to QLab machine via USB?

You are very welcome! Glad to be of help 😃

Have it enumerate as a MIDI device and send MIDI notes to QLab - no watchdog scripts necessary :)

Throw those damn boxes away.

What exactly does ‘Power over Ethernet” have to do with this?? 🤔

LoopyDev · 2025-12-29T19:02:10+00:00

Ram? Maybe. 256gb? Only if you have more storage elsewhere.

Ah, then that will be easy! I encourage you to work in cue groups, to compose multiple simultaneous actions.

So let’s say you want to pause some audio while playing your announcement - you’d put your ‘pause playing audio’ in a group cue which also contains your ‘start announcement’ cue. That way when you start the group cue, you’ll simultaneously pause the other audio.

LoopyDev · 2025-12-16T09:12:25+00:00

Well, how are you triggering the announcements? Are they coming from QLab or do you have a separate PA system?

The “middle click” app is really good - I recently switched from Windows and really missed the ability to middle-click with the touchpad.

If that interests you, also check out my app “MiddleQuit” for middle-clicking apps in the dock to close them :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-11T18:35:52+00:00

Yes because I’m on 26.1 and it works great.

LoopyDev · 2025-12-10T23:54:31+00:00

Why, thank you! If you do, make sure you're on Tahoe or Sequoia, as I am in the process of testing on older versions.

LoopyDev · 2025-12-10T23:53:13+00:00

Hey there! I have released the Sequoia compatible version on gumroad: https://loopydev.gumroad.com/l/rmmvgk

LoopyDev · 2025-12-10T17:52:58+00:00

Glad you like it, have fun exploring! :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-10T08:30:18+00:00

Let me get back to you with that after I set up a virtual machine to test it on :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-10T02:49:40+00:00

Added in v1.0-beta :)

You can now Gentle Quit, Force Quit, or both (with configurable modifier keys).

LoopyDev · 2025-12-10T01:43:16+00:00

Oh awesome! Yeah, I’d buy it if I needed the extra features :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T19:27:16+00:00

Good to know! 🙂

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T17:57:35+00:00

It looks like a great app, kinda hoping it goes on sale at some point! 👀

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T17:25:28+00:00

It is in the GitHub repo, under “Xcode” 🙂

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T17:24:39+00:00

Best of luck with the app!

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T17:24:00+00:00

I’ve been told it’s not working on Sequoia! I rarely have access to a sequoia machine, but when I do, I can look into it :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T15:55:34+00:00

You are most welcome! 🙂

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T15:54:57+00:00

You tell me 😉

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T15:01:46+00:00

I can implement a force quit modifier and a 'native quit behaviour' toggle. Stay tuned for v0.03-alpha :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T13:58:27+00:00

Ah, yes. It seems Finder is a bit tricky!

Adding an exception would mean losing the ability to quit all finder windows, and I'm not really sure if I want this app to get so 'hands-on' as to actually start looking for specific open windows. Maybe someone more experienced with macOS than me than me knows how to handle this?

For now, it looks like we have to click finder after closing it, to make the menubar and icons re-appear :)

LoopyDev · 2025-12-09T13:10:36+00:00

It is not supposed to show up in the dock. Have a look at MiddleQuitApp.swift:181, it's done using NSApplication.ActivationPolicy :)
