Roccat Power Grid

Very cool, MoodyB - thanks! :)

You're welcome :)

Any suggestions for improvements, missing shortcuts, etc.. are always welcome.

For now I'm happy with the look of the buttons, so I'll probably just make a 6x4 version for 16:9 screens and then wait & see what extra shortcuts Frontier add in the future.
 
Control Ship Systems via Tablet (iPad & Android)

I've been messing about with Roccat Power grid this morning and whipped up a basic layout for control over the ships core equipment.

Set up:

You need to download 2 bits of free software:

The server which runs on your PC : http://power-grid.roccat.org/en/Download/

You can download roccat power grid for your tablet for free here :

Android : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.roccat.powergrid
iOS : https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/roccat-power-grid/id663679239?l=de&ls=1&mt=8

Install them both, get your tablet connected to your computer and you nearly ready to go. You just need the grid.

I've uploaded my files to mega for you to download.

It contains every png file, the psd file and other bits and bobs so you can tweak, alter & adapt anything you want.

It also contains the grid package so you can just import it and use it straight away.

Ive also uploaded the grid to the roccat website so you can download it from there soon. Its currently under review but as soon as I get confirmation I'll add the link here.
 
Hey Guys,

My name is Marc, I am the manager of product research at Roccat. I also work with the power-grid team and am the idiot you see in some of the videos.

First of all, thanks for downloading power-grid :) I'm glad you guys are getting so much use out of it.

To answer some of your questions:

Power-grid is still actively under development. We have some ambitious plans for it which iron out some small quirks and expand on it's functionality.

If you are experiencing any problems you can contact us here: http://power-grid-forum.roccat.org/ (If posting a link to our forum isn't ok, mods feel free to edit this post.

For the more ambitious of you there is an SDK which you can get from our website.

Developers can use the SDK to expand apon the functionality to controls and information specific to the game.

CMDR Noctivagus We have a very basic beginners video as well as more advanced ones on our youtube channel, you may want to add this to your tutorial.

As a show of support just bought 3 tabs, which should come in handy in the future(when your software is updated to work on my iPad in IOS 8.XX) :cool:
Till then will use my Note 3 :D
 
Just thought I'd add my vote to the ROCCAT love-in.

It took me a while to get my configuration (plus custom audio) set up, but now it's done I don't play Elite without it.

Whilst not essential it allows me to do seamlessly play ED whilst ignoring the keyboard and also controlling my iTunes 'random play' which accompanies my 'space-faring exploits'.

Current track 'Hello Earth' by Kate Bush... appropriate no?
 
I just sat down to try Beta 3 for the first time since the update and found Power Grid unable to connect :(. Hope it is just a server glitch as I have been using MoodyB's grid along side my MS Sidewinder P/Pro USB since playing the ED beta 2 and haven't bothered to learn the key binds. I was planning on adding a Spotify tab to allow some in game music too.
