Usage

twinkle-client <twinkl server> <priority>
  • twinkle server: The ip or hostname of the twinkl-server
  • priority: Priority of your packet 0 is highest 7 is lowest

twinkl-client reads a list of channel value pairs from stdin. One pair per line in the format <channel> : <value>. Channels range from 0 to 511 while values range from 0 to 255. Both can be entered in decimal or hexadecimal (prefix with 0x). An empty line sends the twinkl packet containing all values since the last empty line. An EOF (Ctrl-D) also sends the twinkel packet and terminates the client.

Only channels that have been assigned a value before sending the packet will be reserved for usage by your priority level. This implies that if you want a channel to stay at 0 without a lower priority level being able to override it you have to set it to 0 in every packet you send. It is also a good Idea to send an empty packet (newline directly followed by a EOF) before killing the client, as it will clear any leftover reserved channels for your priority level.
