new version for DVAP users, and a question for everyone


 
Edited

After quite a bit of playing around with this, there is a new version for DVAP users that will allow you to either configure your DVAP using its serial number, or its assigned device path (i.e., /dev/ttyUSB<X>). You only need to specify one, either a serial number or a device path. If you specify a serial number in qnconfig, the device path will be truncated to zero length. If you specify a device path in qnconfig, the DVAP serial number will be truncated to zero length.

Recently, github.com has enabled a new feature called "Discussions" under its own tab. I am thinking of shutting down all my groups.io groups in favor of using this new Discussions feature on github.com. I think it would make my life a little easier and less cluttered and perhaps it would have the same effect on on you too. In order to use the "Discussions" feature, I believe you have to have a github.com account, and it is very easy to sign up for an account. I believe that github.com (owned now by Microsoft) is very good about not sharing your account information with third parties.

I would like to know of your opinion of such a move, especially if you though it would be a bad idea and would not like to see my groups.io groups disappear.

Tom,

In the long run it seem to be a good idea. I say go for it.?

I would say I enjoy groups.io and sometimes I feel at times that GitHub gets layed in to much complexity when trying to locate stuff and read all the treads but I would say no I believe it would make it harder for users?
