Humm, I've an x10 LM465 lamp module in my hand, I'll give that a try to see if heyu can control it when I get my usb tree rebuilt, heyu is one of the things not working with the new mobo yet, but I got some more usb2 breakout stuff in the mail today. But I need to be awake to install it, something I am not ATM, up too early for a horsepistol visit, they liked what they saw so I get a new aortic valve on the 17nth. ;-) > "Good enough is the enemy of excellence"author unknown > > On Tue, Dec 10, 2019 at 10:42 PM Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wednesday 11 December 2019 01:20:49 Peter C.
