Good point about using the menu to tack. I think this is mostly useful if there are very few buttons.
As for pressing buttons at the same time.. This is mostly for remote controls that don't have a screen and are "stateless" This is why I am also suggesting that both buttons be held for say 2 seconds to apply it.
I do support the idea of introducing something that reduces the risk of accidental tacking. I recently had a drop of water, hitting my Ipad screen, resulting in a port tack during max engine throttle... Not a pleasant experience.
Maybe the user interface for web control should be customization such that you can actually remove tacking or other functions. But perhaps I can make it press and hold as well.
Quote:I would support both ideas, pressing two buttons at the same time (1/10 or -1/-1), as well as the "tach" + 2-5 seconds for specifying tack direction (and speed). If there are issues with "stateless" remote controls, I guess the first option sounds ok, but I kind of like the idea to be able to have two options for the speed/rudder angle of the tack.
Yes I like the idea of having 2 options too.. I will implement both options and make it possible to configure either method on remotes and keypads.
