Button to open Betaflight

[rcpilotp51]

Hey Guys! Thanks for your help in the past.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to open betaflight using either a link (href) or a javascript function.

My goal is to open the app either on windows or mac and populate the navbar with "Manual Selection" with the port: (ie 'tcp://blah.blah')

Possible or no? I dont really know where to ask and Google is not my friend today...

I envision a cloud configurator in the future anyway using Serial or USBDevice API.

But for now tcp connection is only half working. It needs a serial connection after a reboot to reconnect again.

At one point tcp reconnect did work but some minor changes quickly led to another flow in the code which I still can't get my head around. So my working solution was not future proof anyway.

I didn't try to mimic the configurator in separate code however for further investigation, like trying another API.

@rcpilotp51: Definitely possible - the way to get this done is to define a custom protocol (btfltcp://?) and have the configurator installer register this with the operating system - then any app handling URLs will open Betaflight configurator when encountering a btfltcp://... URL.

We have dropped support for NWjs in upcoming version (11.0). Soon can use URL directly.
