Feature Request: Quick Change of Coms method

Post by jammy86 »

Hello,

I'm switching between bluetooth and Serial when communicating my MS. Serial is best when I need the connection to establish quickly between powercycles. It would be ace if there was a button or something that allowed you to set up a wired and wireless setup and switch between the two quickly without going through the communication menu.

a hack way of doing it would be to have 2 different projects one set up for cable and one set for b/t just load the one you need at the time

It does sound handy...

The 2 projects shouldn't lead to a sad face... You may get a difference report if you were changing on the other, but otherwise...

Still it would be handy to have a quick switch or secondary connection defined.
