RFXtrx433E

Some notes about the RFXtrx433E: work in progress

• To use RFXmngr, you need to first install the drivers from FTDI, then (unplug and) plug the RFXtrx433E
• To drive Somfy blinds, you need the RFXtrx433E version (with a final E).
• RFXmngr runs only under windows, while RFXflash can work under Linux with Mono
• Setup: see this nice tutorial.
