Remotely logging Indigo messages using Indigo

A generic class for implementing protocol handlers in Indigo

Indigo SDR content
All the content from the last Indigo Software Design Review (SDR) is now available online. I wish I knew about this before getting inside Indigo on my own. But then again, I wouldn’t have had the fun of finding problems…
