+Arduino Library for sending x10 messages by RF.
+
+Created by Pieter Paul Baron (embedded [at] ppbaron.nl), November 2013.
+Released into the public domain.
+
+Library to send x10 messages via a cheap 433Mhz OOK device. No X10 Firecracker (CMA17A) necessary.
+Decoding messages is not implemented.
+This library can emulate x10 switches and security devices and also RFXMeter and RFXSensor devices manufactured by RFXCom. (www.rfxcom.com)
+
+Tested on a TI Stellarpad (LM4F120H5QR), Energia 0101E0010 and Arduino. This should also work on other TI Launchpad devices.
