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.

You are Amazing Sir!
Thank you!

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.

Coming soon (multi cluster support):

New version 1.0.16 released!

• added resizing datagrid
• added send spot
• changed tci-connection to async task

• added filter spot based on band + mode
• double click in the spot-row tunes Thetis to freq and mode
