Post by PhantomOG »

can someone point me to where I can find documentation on TOADTOG? someone referred to a ToadTog readme somewhere but I can't seem to locate any documentation for a beginner.

Have you looked in the Special Protocols folder at yahoo? There are several toggling amphibians there for you to play with :)

Hey, what does toadtog stand for anyway? (don't tell anyone, but I should really know this by now)

You can also look for the documentation in the ZIP file for the extender you are using.

TOADTOG: Acronym for "crappy device controls".

Websters definition: a way to control a device that does not have discrete controls for power on/off, device mode selection, and anything else you need to remember the current state of soos you can do something different with it the next time you mess with it..

From the Glossary at RC:

TOAD: Toggle Only Actuated Device. A term coined to represent a device that does not feature discrete codes.
