Foohid problem and solution #3

Closed ysoldak closed 5 years ago

First of all, thanks for the great app that enabled me to use my new X7S as a wireless controller on my Mac. USB slot is so unfortunately located on these radios so it is a blessing indeed to be able and skip the wire!

Now, the problem. Foohid is not available to download anymore, development was halted and dmg file removed. Fear not, there is a solution! Download and install "Desktop" version of VIKEY app from https://vikey.20tab.com it brings foohid with it. You may need to reboot your Mac.

Works for me with stock OpenTX 2.2.2 on Taranis Q X7S and macOS Mojave (10.14.2) on MacBook Pro.

Would it be a good idea to embed foohid (or alike) into opentx-ble-joystick app?

Thanks -- rather than install vikey I've attached a known-original copy of Foohid 0.2.1 to the last release. I'm not sure why the original author took them down, but they did post a cryptic message about thread-safety and security, so use at your own risk.
