Hi everyone,
Not sure where to put this topic, so I opt for General... I did a search but came up with nothing spot on.
Objective : on Windows, use a LoupeDeck (it would probably be the same idea with a Stream Deck) to launch processes and scripts in Pixinsight.
I am unfamiliar with coding and I'm looking for the best way to "remote control" Pixinsight using a LoupeDeck. I am aware of Sascha Wyss' Loupedeck excellent module (on mac only for now) but I'm interested in the process rather than just the result.
Anything with a keyboard shortcut is straightforward. Now for everything else, how would you approach this?
- use the console commands (what about the processes that do not have one?). It seems to work but it looks a bit "dirty" : shortcut to open the consol, wait until it shows up, type text, type return
- use menu navigation (this is how Sascha did it on the Mac): customize a shortcut to navigate in the menu bar, use arrows to navigate to the proper menu, more arrows down to select the process, return, etc
- use JS (LoupeDeck can launch an executable)
- anything else ?
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks!
