Well, if you've got a wire...Eduardo said:Let's retake the subject, because it resulted in a discussion about
pahses and so on...
The micromint PLIX chip seemed perfect for the task until I found out
I also needed another module (TW523) whose size is huge (apart from
the cost).
Once again, I don't want to shut the doors just to X-10. I need an
easy to implement and unexpensive protocol to communicate over the
PLC. Even I can lay a data cable for this matter, because I have a
spare electrical tube between each pair of boxes I asked just for this
purpose. When I heard about X-10 I thought I wouldn't need to use the
spare tube, but now when I see the complexity, I do not discard using
it.
Someone mentioned Lonworks. Does it make my problem easy to solve?
Another commands protocol for remote switching over the PLC, or over a
dedicated data line which can be implemented mostly on one chip and
unexpensively?
Thanks!
Eduardo.
PIC16F87Xa. Builtin serial port, whether you need level translator
depends on length and noise. Onechip, lots of i/o.
Probably can find a cheaper more current part with enough capability.
