How do I connect a module to a cable?
Right-click a 
Control Cable with the 
Cable Stripper tool to create a 
Stripped Cable, then Right-click that Stripped Cable again with the tool to select which module it connects to.

Yes, Control Panels work as ComputerCraft peripherals, allowing you to read and control modules through Lua scripts for advanced automation.
How do I organize multiple panels?
Use Control Cables to link panels together, and dye your bulb modules different colors to visually organize which switches control which machines.
Does this mod work with Create?
Yes, the mod adds an exclusive block designed to make link connections easier when using Create mod alongside Dashpanels.
Will Dashpanels work if I'm using Sable mod for sublevels?
Yes, Control Panels function normally on sublevels when playing with Sable mod, so your redstone systems will work across different levels.
What modules can I add to a Control Panel?
You can add bulbs (which can be dyed different colors), levers, knobs, and other redstone modules to control different aspects of your machines from one panel.
