Post by thread:[PIC]: X10 transmitter and decoder?

I've been doing some searching, and havent really come up with anything other than finding a circuit that does use a 16C54, fed directly from the mains (or pretty much so) and decodes the X10 data. Since X10 is now public domain (I think...since the patent expired?) has anyone done this, without using the PLIX or some other commercial thing? I'd like to build some X10 capability into a few things, but hate to pay the price for it. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Hi, I have designed and built my own X10 receivers without needing the 523 interface. They use standard discrete components for interfacing with the mains. My units plug directly into the mains, and need no code switches for house/unit definition; they store this in the EEPROM. They also have some more features over the original modules. Also, they are based on the 16F84 / 16F628, chips which are more readily available and are current. Do you have a business proposition in mind? Do write back if you are interested.
