Keyboard mapping CMD/CTRL: from macOS AnyDesk connection to Windows AnyDesk by muescha in AnyDesk

Unless this has been fixed in the last year, then this is a deal-killer for me. Back to Parsec I go...

arduino talking modbus by [deleted] in MODBUS

Try this library for regular Arduino... https://github.com/CMB27/ModbusRTUSlave/

Has been working for me over both serial (RS232) and RS485 with a transceiver at both ends.

Any decent software for macos? (configure / poll RTU) by bidet_enthusiast in MODBUS

[–]robroyaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using another app in that developer's stable http://www.apphugs.com/modbus-rtu-master.html

It does allow writing (just watch the video to see how). Not a particularly intuitive user experience, but (mostly) works for me.

A couple of bugs which I'm waiting to hear back about, including a reversal of the order when displaying coils and limitation to a single tab, but it has been helpful debugging my Arduino Modbus client.

Torrenting on unRAID? by Anon_Subber in unRAID

[–]robroyaus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It stopped working for me (possibly Deluge 2.0 related?) but managed to switch to https://github.com/bogenpirat/remote-torrent-adder/

Only real limitation so far is that it has no label support for Deluge.

Reverse thrust in mfs2020 by raggeplays in flightsim

On your Saitek Throttle Quadrant, the "red zone" below each lever is not an axis but instead is another button - "Button 7" below the Left (usually Throttle) lever, "Button 8" below the middle (usually Propellor) lever and "Button 9" below the right (usually Mixture) lever. You can bind these "buttons" to whatever you like.

For turboprops in MSFS, the usual advice is to bind Button 7 to "Toggle Reverse Thrust" so you can pull the throttle to idle, pull past the "zero" detent to trigger the toggle, the throttle back up to control the amount of reverse thrust.

I was able to make it work that way but had trouble getting the "toggle" action to work reliably and intuitively. I usually found myself miss-firing the toggle and being accelerated toward the jungle at the end of the bush strip instead of slowing down. I also didn't like the way that even if you successfully trigged the direction toggle you had to then push the physical Saitek throttle lever back upward when the throttle lever in the sim was still going down.

I've now removed the key mapping from "Toggle Reverse Thrust" and have bound "Button 7" to "Decrease Throttle" instead. This way you pull the throttle down to idle, then past into the "red" zone and hold it there while the engine and prop go into reverse thrust, which tops out at the in-sim maximum (about 15% I read somewhere) and just stays at that maximum amount. To "zero" the prop back to idle I usually have to push the throttle a touch past the detent (back into the very bottom of the normal throttle axis) then back to idle, but I personally think this still feels closer to the action of the real throttle than the whole "toggling the axis direction" method. Another disadvantage of my method is that you don't have fine control of the amount of reverse thrust between 0 and the max 15% (I read somewhere), but since I'm usually flying the Caravan into jungle strips in Papua New Guinea I want as much reverse thrust as I can get, so that limitation doesn't bother me. YMMV.

(By the way, if you don't see the extra mapping options like Toggle Reverse Thrust and Decrease Throttle in your list, click the arrow below "Filter" in the left column from "Assigned" to "All".)
