Stream Deck Plus, Again

[iu4jnr]

Hi all, this is Max IU4JNR.
In few days I should receive a pre-loved ANAN7000DLE MK2. I'm not new to SDR, I own a SUNSDR2DX and 2pro and I just sold a Flex6400. I also owned a HL2 and a Hamlab 160-10 based on Red Pitaya.

I try to figure out what is the best solution to exploit my Stream Deck Plus to make it works wih Thetis and it seems there are a couple of solutions. However, what i found in the community forum are "old" discussions, dated nov 22.
Just as a try, I made few keys assignment using the "hotkey switch" in the SD+ software. Although they works, the mouse should stay focused on Thetis to be effective. Having multi-monitor setup this is not going to work.
So my questions are: are there any news on interfacing SD+ ? Any SW like FRstack for Flex? what is the most used/easy solution which keep the focus on Thetis whatever the mouse pointer is?
Thanks in advance
Max IU4JNR

Any luck? I have a stream deck that used with my Flex6500. It would be nice to use it once again.

I'm not a Stream Deck owner, but I believe it is as easy as using a set of .bat files that are executed on Stream Deck button presses to send CAT commands to Thetis.

If I were doing this, I'd install some version of netcat for Windows--I like ncat which is part of the nmap suite. Then you can issue commands like:

echo zzfa00018135100; | ncat -C 127.0.0.1 13013 --send-only

In that example zzfa is the CAT command, 127.0.0.1 is the localhost address, and 13013 is the TCP/IP CAT server port in Thetis. -C adds a CRLF, --send-only closes the connection immediately after sending.

I'm new to the whole Streamdeck thing ... I have a Streamdeck plus working ... sort of.

I have multiple knobs working, but am having trouble getting more than one button working. When I add a second button, the control ID as seen by Thetis is the same as my first button.

On Thetis there are "Id"s. My first button Id is seen as 38 in Thetis.

On the Streamdeck SW, under NRPN there are options for channel, and control. I seem to be missing something, as my second button is always seen as the same Thetis Id as my first, even though I have tried multiple values for channel and control. My knobs show up as Ids 0, 1, and 2 on Thetis.

Any idea why my buttons are always showing up as Id 38? Right now I have three knobs and am trying for my second button.
