Release: Cluster-TCI-Bridge

Postby oe3ide » Tue Aug 27, 2024 9:29 am

Hi,

just released a new tool called "Cluster-TCI-Bridge"

https://www.oe3ide.com/cluster-tci-bridge/

What does Cluster-TCI-Bridge?
It connects via TCI to your Thetis and via telnet to your preferred DX-Cluster. Each spot is sent via TCI to Thetis.
You can configure the spot-colors via settings.

Very cool.

Can it connect to multiple clusters simultaneously?

Not at the moment. But you can start the program multiple times. The only condition is that it is in its own directory each time.
The settings are saved in the directory with Cluster-TCI-Bridge.ini. The color values ​​in the colorconfig.xml.

These can be copied and then adjusted accordingly.
