Re: Help with 7 Circuit Project?

The Omni LT is limited to 16 messages, which is the downfall, but if you got
creative you could use combinations of messages to have more functionality.

The downfall of the Omni LT is it is too limited when you are really excited
about automating many things...

The Omni Lt only has one "If" statement but you can combine lines with flags
to have more than one condition.  Than again you only have 100 lines of
programming.  But HAL 2000 would expand this, but for the cost of HAl and
another $100 bucks you have an Omni Pro II.
