+# DRControl #
+
+DRControl is a command utility written in Python and uses the pylibftdi. You can control the Denkovi 4 USB Relay board to set relay on or off.
+
+The 4 USB relay board (DAE-CB/Ro4-USB) uses a FT245RL chipset that uses Synchronous Bit-Bang Mode protocol.
+
+## Info ##
+
+ * The pylibftdi version 0.11 or later is needed, otherwise the previous relay states does go to off when new state is issued.
+ * The only relay board that has been tested is the 4 USB Relay board. Support for the 8 USB Board Relay is added, but not tested.
