What a coincidence, I'm actively working in X and my stuff is free too -
free in the sense of freedom and not as in free beer.

In my project, gpsim, we'll be working on module interfaces shortly. I
don't have a relay yet, but the LCD is coming around:

I unfortunately don't have a Visual Basic interface although the
interfaces are basically visual. In fact I don't support any language in
particular, but I suppose any language that can open dynamic libraries
would work okay.
