For those that didn't attend the Sydney mini, what does it do? Curious minds want to know.

What he said ^^^

It's a windows program that reads a list of controllers from an xml file then sits there periodically pinging each controller displaying in green or red if the controller was reachable.

OK, so not just limited to IP connected controllers, but any device that responds to a ping?

I had it running on Win 10 64, but you do need to make sure you have the xml file in the same directory otherwise it seems to not start correctly and leave an errant process lurking?
