See [original](http://misterhouse.sourceforge.net/lib/ X10_RedRat.html)
This is the first beta release of a module interfacing with the RedRat2 infra red device from Chris Dodge (http://www.redrat.co.uk). The device was originally meant for sending and receiving IR signals, but with a lot of help from Dave Houston (http://www.laser.com/dhouston) I was able to generate X10 RF signals with it. In order for X10 RF devices to pick the result up you need either a bax standard IR extender kit transmitting on the same frequency as X10 RF or Dave Houston's IR/RF converter. The description for the IR/RF converter can be found at http://www.laser.com/dhouston/ir2rf.htm Broken link.
I originally wrote this module to find a no-cost solution for my two phase problem. Instead of buying a coupler I am using this to send RF. On each phase I have one TM13U-AH which receives X10RF for all house codes (http://www.letsautomate.com/10680.cfm?CFID=19174&CFTOKEN=41245603). As I already head all the devices I didn't have to buy anything. I hope this might be of use to somebody else as well.
The module hooks itself into X10 send, generates the RedRat codes and then passes the codes to the RedRat.pm module.
Use these mh.ini parameters to enable the code:
RedRat_module = X10_RedRat
RedRat_port = /dev/ttyS1

This module is based on the example code example_interface.pm X10_BX24.pm and some hints from Bruce Winter about his new send_x10_data hook.
MANY THANKS TO THE AUTHORS!
