Good to hear we can mix and match.....

I currently have Java 1.5.0_04 installed on my computer as its required for
CBUS-CGATE.....so im hoping form here it should be easy for me to get your
xPL-Java stuff loaded up........

Im off to do some reading of your xPL-JAVA....expect some calls for help ;)

Thanks
Frank

Yeah -- doesn't sound like anything you couldn't do with this (pretty easy,
actually).

You can use the xPL4Java stuff and xPLHal on the same computer and
certainly
on the same network.  It's the magic of xPL -- just another device out
there.  So you can mix and match.  You need Java because the GUI stuff is
in
Java and uses the xPL4Java framework, but if you don't want to use anything
else in xPL4Java, you don't have to.

And since the RGBLED kit has a xPL driver (available now -- again,
controllable via xPLHal, once you start the xPL4Java container and tell it
to load the RGBLED module, it'll appear as a another xPL device to anything
that can show/track such things (like xPLHAL).
