A few links on Logitech remotes for presenters.
I like how the spotlight can highlight portions of the screen, but I wish it had the LCD display timer of the R800 and R700.
The big problem of the Spotlight seems to be the stability of the Logitech software, both on Windows and on MacOS.
The R series (R800/R700/R500/R400) have lasers that do not reflected well by modern big screens.
A great review of the various presenters is at [WayBack] What’s the Best Logitech Pointer? – R400 vs R700 vs R800 – Sky Tech Lasers.

Information and downloads on [WayBack] MultiBootUSB.
There are actually a few repositories within [WayBack] mbusb (multibootusb) · GitHub of which one has a ruby implementation as well.

I totally forgot it was possible to usie an old Fritz!Box to act as a DECT repeater:
Um die Abdeckung von DECT für mobile Festnetztelefone zu verbessern, lässt sich eine ältere Fritzbox verwenden.

Reminder to self: [WayBack] Tomato by shibby – upgrade procedure and cfg backup | LinksysInfo.org:
I keep a text file with the changes I’ve made after a fresh install and I keep the file updated as I make changes.
Re-configuring the router after that takes a bit of time, but it is not that bad. Toastman’s method (here) noted above as well as the methods described here and here can also be used, but I haven’t tried them.
which references:
- [WayBack] Using QOS – Tutorial and discussion | Page 3 | LinksysInfo.org
You need to save a file somewhere on or off the router, with the following command from the command line.
nvram export –set >config.txt
This outputs the complete setup in useable text form, each line beginning with “nvram set”. This means it’s ready to input to the router without having to add the “nvram set” to every line. You could do this by ssh or telnet.
NOTE – you can only restore the whole config file to the original router. To configure a different router you need to cherry pick the important lines (see below)
e.g.
nvram set clkfreq=480,240,120
nvram set wl0_country=AU
nvram set wan_domain=freewifi
nvram commit
- [WayBack] Tomato RAF Releases | Page 18 | LinksysInfo.org
save off the results of nvram export –quote, ie:
Code:
nvram export –quote > nvram_clean
after erasing, then subsequent changes are easy to find later with:
Code:
nvram export –quote | grep -Fvf nvram_clean
While not quite as readable or cut and paste friedly as –set, –quote is script friendly with the advantage that all entries are always a single line.
- [WayBack] I’ve created a command-line NVRAM cfg file parser | LinksysInfo.org
Decodes Tomato cfg files into JSON so they can be changed and compared against other backups. Encodes JSON-formatted Tomato cfg key/value pairs into the Tomato cfg format.

This procedure works for Somfy RTS motors to:
- removing an additional channel
- removing an additional remote
The trick is to have one remote/channel that you want to keep working as you need that one to initiate the deletion process:
- On the channel/remote you want to delete
- Test with the up/down button that it is indeed the one you want to delete
- On the channel/remote you want to keep
- Test with up/down button
- The Somfy RTS motor show now work
- Press the small button with a pen
- The Somfy RTS motor now should “wiggle”
- On the channel/remote you want to delete
- Press the small button with a pen
- The Somfy RTS motor now should “wiggle” again
- Test with up/down button
- The somfy RTS motor should now do nothing
- On the channel/remote you want to keep
- Test with up/down button
- The Somfy RTS motor show still work
