Off-topic >I can see x-10 is a propietary protocol for comunication using power >lines.Yhere is another option? Option for what, communication over power lines? The original X10 patent expired in Dec. '97, X10 is now an open standard. A few details: X10 uses a 1ms 120kHz burst at the zero crossing point of the 50/60Hz line voltage. Basic message is 13 bits, to messages are used to turn on or off a device. Extended packets can contain up to 20 bits, and contain custom data for your devices. DK

CEBus can also use Powerline communication and is a EIA standard (ummm 709.1 I think). Never used it however, I have been thinking about doing so (for a PIC project naturally). Anyone with experience out there. Reply in private if you prefer (kinda OT).

This seems like such a natural thing to do for a microcontroller project (given the prices of much of the more versatile home automation stuff) that I hadn't really considered the possibility that it hadn't been done yet. A quick web search finds at least one page selling PIC X10 code and power line interfaces: http://users1.ee.net/web_surf/Mchip.htm Also the PIC C compiler from CCS for the MicroChip PIC16 processors includes software drivers for X10 (and a whole load of other stuff) for $99 http://ccsinfo.com/picc.html So, apparently this is not an uncommon application. Anybody know of any free X10 code or power line interfaces? DK

I've got a whole slew of messages dating back to Feb of 95 on PIC/X10/interfacing. I'll try and put them all together into one cohesive message....and forward to those who are interested or post to the list (depending on interest)

Of course me too. Maybe this should go on a web page somewhere? There seems to be enough interest and apparently comes up every so often. {Quote hidden}> >Me too... >-Steve Jones > >>Please count me in on the post. >>--Stacy >> >>Thanks for your message at 12:03 PM 6/3/99 -0600, Harrison Cooper.

485 over power lines? are you SURE? if are you sure then explain how please else x-10 is still the answer. -----Mensaje original----- De: pic microcontroller discussion list [PICLISTEraseME.....MITVMA.MIT.EDU]En nombre de WF AUTOMACAO - A òNICA COM KITS DIVERSIFICADOS E NACIONAIS Enviado el: jueves 3 de junio de 1999 17:38 Para: EraseMEPICLISTMITVMA.MIT.EDU Asunto: Re: x-10 and pic.
