BitWise Controls BC4 Support

Just a quick introduction, and an overview of my planned development
efforts. I'm Mark Buster with BitWise Controls
( www.bitwisecontrols.com ). We make IP enabled control systems
interfaces. I have been playing with the CommandFusion GUI Designer
and iViewer applications, and I think they are a great fit for our
products. It is already possible to use our products with
CommandFusion, but I'm setting about developing "system" files to make
it easier to set up.
A bit about the BC4/BCX-1. It's an IP enabled device with a built-in
IR library (with on-board IR learner), 4 emitter ports plus the IR
learner LED which can be used as an IR blaster, 2 relays, 2 GPIOs
(digital input, analog input, or digital output), internal counter/
frequency input tied to GPIO # 1, a three-wire serial port, and an
internal temperature sensor.

As I said, I'm creating a "System file" which will allow users to
easily set up the BC4 and provide access to all of the hardware
functionality. This will provide the basis for BC4 system support. But
what will make this even more useful, is that I'm also working on a
small utility that will allow you to convert device files exported
from our (soon to be released) Project Editor software, for use with
CommandFusion.
Here's how it will work:
The BC4 Project Editor software allows you to browse the BC4's on-
board IR device library (which includes support for 100s of thousands
of devices), quickly create and test IR "Devices", which include
manufacturer info, factory IR keys, and any learned IR keys you may
add. Then, you can export these devices as a file for use with later
projects, useful when you use the same devices on lots of
installations. These exported device files can be easily converted
(again, I'm making a small utility for this) into the .cfs system file
format used by GUI Designer. This should make setting up re-usable IR
devices very painless.
The Project Editor software also allows you to create control macros
to be stored directly in the BC4. I'll be making the BC4 system file
able to trigger these files.

Anyway, sorry for the long-winded intro. Just wanted to give you guys
a heads-up for what's coming down the road.
Thanks,
Mark
