Introduction
============

  Relax is a tool to control any of the 8-bit relay-cards around. It has
  a simple, but powerfull GUI for easy and fast handling. There are four
  different modes how the control can be done:

  In this mode all the acting is done directly. There are some buttons avail,
  like AllOn, AllOff, Invert, 1, 2, 3...

  2. Random
  ---------
  Here a random-generator decides which realy get switched. Useless realys
  can be switched off and the pause between the next step is setable.

  3. Step
  -------
  Two or more commands can be added to a list. The loopable list can be
  run with different times in pause. There can be unlimited entrys in a list.

  4. Time
  -------

  contition can be defined to various times. Also here there can be
  unlimited entrys in a list.

In reply to Comment 1 (James Carroll):
Controls relay cards? (most likely those that plug into the parallel port)

Nice software, I guess, but I think the audience won't be very large. :-)

It would be useful if this could be implemented as a Tool for Bars n Pipes.

- SW controlled shutdown for classic Amiga
- SW controlled startup/shutdown of your non-ATX x86 rendering cluster
etc...

I think there is huge amount of possibilities for people who are interested in electronics/home automation etc.

This is great news. I think i could find that quite useful. I appreciate it that you support both AmigaOS and MorphOS. That's how it should be. Any possibility to get OS4 version too someday ?

Think there will be no OS4-version, cos the AOne is too expensive for me...
Maybe someday OS4 becomes avail for classic Amigas, then yes.

Rupert,

Does this support the rather odd relay card called Tekno Amiga?

Well, it's not really a relay card, but.. would be interesting to know if this card could be controlled by your software :)

In reply to Comment 9 (Rupert Hausberger):
OS4 for Classic Amigas equiped with BPPC and CSPPC cards....but
perhaps those upgrades were too expensive for you too?

doesnt matter - if its nice clean OS3.x code it'll work on OS4
via the emulation anyway!
