FControl

FELIX control GUI @ P1, powered by PyQt5.

Everything is based on simple ssh to felix servers. This is because we don't have fancier tools. And there's no need for them.

How to use

Open @ P1

Login normally to any P1 machine that is not felix/swrod themselves, as FControl don't work normally there.
