Title: Scriptin
Post by: richard on February 17, 2006, 10:21:03 PM

The macros and timers are supposed to be
easy to use, but they are very combersom
and slow to set up.  I would like to see a
scripting language option made available.
I really think it would be much quicker to
program and analyze macro logic.

Richard:
You're back in the Dark Ages! :-)

Virtually no users today want to have to
learn scripting and type up a script, even if
it is 10 times faster to program.  It's GUI,
GUI, GUI all the way.

Charles Sullivan: Richard maybe in the Dark
Ages and true many users don't want to type
up scripts but they'd be the first to use
one made by someone else. :)

I sure would like to see a simplified "C" compilier, then I wouldn't have to chain macros for else conditions.

richard & emil: Have you looked into the SDK?
Scripting was my first go at SDK now it turned me into a programer! :o ::) who'd of guessed it! ;D
I read somewhere a user was able to do this, maybe not yet to the extent you'd like. But who knows all what you can/can't do with it!  I don't think even X10 dreamed it would be used  in the ways some people have come up with.( I think it cut down on the plugin possibilities)

I did for a bit but I would like to run standalone without the computer, don't see where the SDK allows this.

Your right as of yet the SDK doesn't alow downloading to the interface. :'( But if your planing on using cams or the internet the Cm15A has to be pluged into the PC all the time anyways. ::) ;) :)
