The control.tcl
program displays a drawing that you create
with your favorite paint program (I used xfig), and then overlays
little rectangles to represent where
the X-10 controllers are installed. When your mouse passes over one

The controllers can
be turned on and off by clicking them with left and right mouse buttons.
The control.tcl program has these features:
This is a first pass, "Wow, it works!" project. Subject to change as I get time.
Revision | Date | Comments |
---|---|---|
