FRStack Version 3.1.3.7 Released - Stream Deck support

Thanks again Mike. I'm gradually getting the hang of this and discovering new ways to customise and populate the panel. As you say it takes no time once the basic commands are understood. Still some trial and error but it's fun.

On my Stream Deck it only sez "FRStack3" it does not say "FRStack3 Rest". I clicked both files, one visibly opened, the other I assumed opened silently. Running the latest version issued a few few days ago. Something change or did I make a mistake? Thanks, Mike, WB8CXO

One more question David or Mark. Going to pick one up this morning locally as they are in stock. Will the Stream Deck work with my Windows 7 desktop? Everything I read says Win 10 and later. Anyone?0

I haven't used Windows 7 in MANY, MANY years. It's a dinosaur. My Windows 10 desktop and laptop are working fine, except for a quick DAX device renaming after upgrade. Hopefully Flex will have a newer DAX driver out at some point.
A quick Google search turned this up https://www.reddit.com/r/ElgatoGaming/comments/6bo5o8/the_stream_deck_does_not_work_with_windows_7_or/
So unfortunately it looks like if you want to play with new toys you will need to bite the bullet. and upgrade.

Keep in mind that Microsoft has quietly not stopped their free upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and if you are a big fan of the "look and feel" of Windows 7 there are a few very nice programs that offer you a very "Windows 7-like" user interface (I use Start10, myself).
I realize that there are Hams out there, still proudly using Windows XP and computers with actual DB9 RS-232 ports on them, but up to date stuff can be very useful, especially when trying to use 'newer' toys with them!
Good luck!

Thanks Dave and Roy. I should know to Google anything first. I have a Win 10 laptop but haven't used it with SSDR and DAX only web page maintenance and general browsing. I just don't have the time required to fix the **** storms associated with Win 10 and DAX. Guess it's time to confer with my Flex mentor deluxe W9IE and see how he deals with it. Been avoiding it a long time now. Roy yes am aware of the Free so-called upgrade. Maybe Time to bight the bullet like you mentioned. Thanks for the input guys. Buying the Stream Deck anyway, so destiny awaits .0

Hi Clay,
The procedure to rename DAX devices is well documented on the Community and only necessary when Windows does a major upgrade (once or twice a year) so it is not often.
Again, best news would be new DAX drivers or Windows fixes that prevent the scrambling. DAX is not alone. Those with older Flex radios and other SDR radios that use VAC also suffer from the update scrambling. Icom has also had issues with it with their USB drivers for radio audio.
Windows 10 1903 has been very stable here and not too different from Windows 7.
Good luck & have fun!

Encouraging Dave. Think it's time to give it a go. I hear the DAX issue is being dealt with too. I think FRS is determined to master the issue.0

Good luck!
I bought a medium sized Stream Deck ages ago, and recently upgraded to an XL.
It's loads of fun to use and gaining more capability every week thanks to hard working programmers, doing all this amazing stuff gratis.
(I put my Genovation in a drawer, where it will probably 'live'.)
Roy AC2GS0 -
Almost ordered the XL but the 15 key medium was in stock so I have it in hand.
Taking a few days off to rearrange my station and work in a new 2K-FA and now Win 10 update along with the Stream Deck. Hope I'm not taking on too much. Ha.0 -

I believe some have tried on Win 7 without success.

Thanks. That’s a bummer.0

And Stream Deck uses the Mac OS too. Does someone here have an example of using a Mac-based SD to communicate to a PC (local? or remote?) running FRStack that in turn commands their Flex?0

When I use the split feature I get second slice that is muted and has transmit. If you do not see this then reach out to me via the Help Contact Support link. 730

Will do. Thanks Mark.

To use REST from another PC / MAC you will need to update the IP filter in FRStack. Edit the FRStack.exe.config file. Change the WhiteListedIPAddresses value to include the IP of your MAC. or remove all IPs to allow any client to connect. Restart FRStack3. Now in the Stream Deck settings use the IP address of the PC running FRStack3 in place of 127.0.0.1

Thanks for the pointer on this Mark! It’s so much fun to use Stream Deck through your app!0

@Mark W3II, Is there a simple step by step instruction page to help me get my Stream Desk working with FRStack on my Win10 machine? I have FRStsck running and Stream desk as well. Both are new to me so just getting acquainted with the basics. I run the Flex 6600, Maestro and an SPE 2K. Thanks in advance. Clay N9IO0

There was a suggestion a while back that folks here export/share their developed Stream Deck profiles. Is there a repository available somewhere for those?0

Little Flex personalization

That's really impressive Rich. Unashamedly I would like to copy some of the features of your layout, some of which I never even thought of adding to my more basic one. I am struggling with a few of the less obvious control strings and I suspect adapting them from your menu would save me a lot of frustration, although admittedly the learning curve is less steep now than it was in the beginning.
It would be great if you would agree to share the file for others (including me!), and presumably GitHub is the place we should do this?
Thanks in advance

I would be happy to share. There is really not any custom control strings.
Its just things regrouped in an effort to have buttons available for certain tasks. Not to mention custom graphics and a decal for top to cover up streamdeck. I have only had it a few days so still learning my way.

The SPE feature in FRStack communicates via the USB cable port. Currently it supports SPE 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 amps. I am working on 1.X support.
Reach out to me directly the Help menu, Contact Support. We can diagnose the issue together.0
