A serial port that I can plug my X-10 "FireCracker" into. I have Java code to send the correct stream out to do X-10 control. This would let existing X-10 users have remote control via JackNet immediately. It would nice if there was either 4-20ma or 1-5v Analog-In and Analog-Out support that would provide immediate monitoring and control capabilities for commercial systems. To replace something we are already using, we'd need 8 digital ins, 8 digital outs, 6 Analog-Ins and 4 Analog-Outs. This is a lot of capabilty that would provide a great start for some serious use of this stuff. It would be great to show the powers that be that this is in fact very capable, and serious stuff. ----- gr...@cy... (Cyte Technologies Inc) |

Actually, for JXTA I am planning on using the TSTIK's direct-into-ethernet capabilities and a JXTA proxy to access the JXTA network: http://tkosan.javadevices.org/misc/embeddedjava/personal_collective.gif You know, if you had any thoughts about leveraging Outposts to use with JINI this would probably be a good time to move forward with this. The way that I see it, the Outpost hardware we will be manufacturing can be used in 1) the Web Services scenario we originally talked about, 2) the new JackNet/JXTA scenario that I am working on and I do not see any reason why we can't add a third JINI scenario to the list. > I have no problem contributing my X10 code.

This X10 code base would allow us to approach the more well known home automation companies in order to show them the capabilities we are developing. Can you give a link to where FireCracker boxes can be purchased from? Thanks, Ted __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Dear Jac and Ted - I used the X10s for about a years worth of waited time, with the CM11A (The "FireCracker" need a CTS handshake that is NOT in TINI's serial1). I was able to keep track of about for power modules with the CM11A, but operation with the CM11A was erratic as Hell, and with or without the CM11A plugged in to the TINI. I have a hard time recommeding X10s as a solution for "Home Control" applications. I would be more that happy to send my server code for SSC's TiniHttpServer, and you can find out for yourself how lousy X10s are... Trust me on this... I would NOT hook one up to a coffee pot in fear of buring my house down. Best regards, Kelly (been there, done that with X10s, anf gagged) Smith -----Original Message----- From: emb...@li...

Dear Ted - I can zip my entire "X10 Home Controller Escapades" into a rather
large zip file. This includeds the DalSemi/Motorola demo of using
Motorola's iDEN phome to communid=cate to an X10 power module via a TINI
with a CM11A and a servlet from a PC.
I also have a complete disporation on how to "Bullet Proof" the wiring in
you home that can somewhat minimize the erratic behavior of the AC wiring...
Keep in mind that every home will be unique. I had lights going off and on
"Just for the Hello of it" at sporadic and un-corralatble times eith the
TINI unplugged from the CM11A. In short, people will be disappointed with
the results, and the TINI (at best) can only handle about four X10 modules
(on a good day, with no sun spots. Real world applications with X10, that
might endanger the public, are out of the question.
In short, X10 is _NOT_ a predictable and "rock solid" solution, and there
are too many variables to contend with on a case-by-case installation in a
home (much less a large installation like an industrial control site).
Finally, TINI or TStik (at 1 MB) doesn't have the " grunt" to deal with many
X10's to support it. I would rather bet on using 1-Wire devices and relays,
than go the X10 route (even if I do have to run some CAT5 cable in the
walls... Conclusion: X10 sucks!
Putting an X10 power controller on your spa, might be great for Lobsters
however. 8D
Best regards, Kelly ("Save the Lobsters Foundation") Smith

Dear Ted - (1) Re: "Go ahead and create the .zip file" am doing that now, and trying to minimize the file size as much as I can (th first attempt as 67MB!). I now have X10.zip down to 24 MB. There is downloadable executables for X10 on PCs (Active Home, and Firecracker) at: http://www.x10.com/support/support_soft1.htm ...so, this won't be included in "X10.zip" that I am organizing for you. (2) Re: "By grunt, do you mean that TINI couldn't pump out serial data to the CM11A module fast enough? Could you give a short description of where TINI fell short?" Mostly exceptions for "Out of memory" and "Unable to connect to remote host" from a browser. Sporadic at best, and even though I sprinkled som GCs in critical sections when the Java code (running on TINI) was idle (i.e., waiting for somtehing to do in a thread). Communication data rates to/from the CM11A from TINI's serial port were never a problem. Let me know where I can put the X10.zip file, OK? - Best regards, Kelly Smith P.S. You will need a cross-over cable from a TINI/TStik to the CM11A. -----Original Message----- From: emb...@li...

So it appears to be the web server that is killing the system and not the X10 communications code. To be honest, I have never thought that running a web server on a TINI, or any other Embedded System for that matter, was a very useful thing to do and that next-generation technologies like JINI and JXTA would be the way to go. I think it is the discovery of these kinds of insights that gives the Embedlets community most of its current value. Ted __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Here is a link to the TStik's Pro socket board information: http://www.systronix.com/tinistik/socket.html' and TStik itself can be found at http://tstik.com The serial port needed for X-10 communications via "FireCracker" is present and if you were willing to donate your X-10 source code to the Embedlets project, that would be great! > It would nice if there was either 4-20ma or 1-5v Analog-In and Analog-Out > support that would provide immediate monitoring and control capabilities for > commercial systems.

This kind of capability can easily be accommodated with the socket board's JSIMM connector: http://jsimm.systronix.com Or the socket board's 'Embedlets sensor net expansion header' (as listed in the socket board's info page!). I think it is time to start recruiting additional individuals and companies from the TINI and Systronix lists to help out with this effort. It looks like Outpost can use some circuit-board-oriented companies to start designing expansion boards for it at this point in time. Does anyone have a problem with me beginning an official Embedlets recruiting effort? Ted __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
