Hi Jay Renner,
Disabling the one-button Build/Deploy/Connect/Run feature on Quanser external devices is a good safety precaution to ensure that you have complete control over when the device starts its operations.
Here are some general steps that will help you disable this feature:
- Check the Quanser device software and documentation for any options to disable the one-button feature. There may be a setting that you can change to enable a step-by-step build, deploy, connect, and run process.
- If there is no option to disable the one-button feature, you may need to modify the software or build process to achieve a step-by-step process. This may require some programming knowledge and familiarity with the Quanser device software and hardware.
- One approach could be to modify the build process to generate a binary file that can be deployed to the device separately from the software. This would allow you to verify the binary file before deploying it to the device.
- Another approach could be to modify the software to include a manual confirmation step before deploying and running the code on the device. This could involve adding a pop-up dialog box or command line prompt that requires user input to proceed.
- Ensure that all lab members are trained on the new build, deploy, connect, and run process to ensure that safety procedures are followed consistently.
It's important to know that modifying the software or build process can be risky and may void the device's warranty.
