  Aurora (Light Controller) version 1.0
----------------------------------------------------------
Aurora is software to control the MoMolight device 
featured on http://lx.divxstation.com/article.asp?aId=151

The software contains two parts.
 - The windows software program to control the device.
 - New firmware for the device.

If you choose not to install the new firmware some 
features will not be available to you.
In the connection settings of the windows software you can
choose your device type (aurora or momo).

Features:
  - Support for vista (even with aero enabled).
  - Support for Ambilight mode in video playback, desktop 
    and games.
  - Multimonitor support.
  - You can configure the 3 outputs of the device in any
    postion around your screen (not just left, top 
    and right).
  - Gamma and brightness correction to calibrate the 
    colors to closely match your screen.
  - Option to set outputs to any color.
  - Use moods (xml file) to play a playlist of colors to
    show on the outputs.
  - * Store 14 colors for each output in memory of the 
      device to show on button push.
  - * Use the button to operate the device even if computer
      is off (short push (< 2 sec) => next color,
      middle push (> 2 sec) => cycle thru colors and
      long push (> 5 sec) => lights off).
  - * Fix: all light are off when color is black.

* Features only available if the orignal MoMolight 
    device has been reprogrammed with the aurora firmware:
      - aurora1.0_anode.hex
      - aurora1.0_cathode.hex
    These can be found in de firmware folder of the 
    program installation folder.

firmware will not be released at this moment, but will be
released at somepoint in the future.

----------------------------------------------------------
  Known issues and bugs
----------------------------------------------------------

* 1.0
  - The option to start the program on windows start, does
    not function correctly on windows vista. A workaround 
    is to add a link to the program in the startup folder.

----------------------------------------------------------
  changelog
----------------------------------------------------------

* 1.0
 - First release version

----------------------------------------------------------
  Ideas to implement in future releases
----------------------------------------------------------
 - Create software help/manual.
 - Moods (xml file) editor.
 - Add windows messaging capabilities to the program, so
   other programs can send commands to the device thru 
   sendmessage() and postmessage() functions.
 - Create a windows Media Center plugin to control lights.
 - Add a network interface so you can control the device
   from another computer.
 - Implement soundeffect for the lights.
 - Try to implement a AmbX driver so device can act like a
   Ambx device from philips (not sure this will work, 
   and is legal).
