[Embedlets-dev] Light Blinker update and uVM serial multidrop network

[Ted K. <tk...@ya...>]

I submitted the Global Light Blinker proposal to the JXTA community and the
feedback that I received on the idea was all +1s so I have been moving ahead
with developing the software.

The next step in the process is to submit the project idea for formal approval
and I will do this as soon as I have a working demonstration.

The demonstration application is currently 90% functional and the main thing
that is preventing 100% functionality is a method in the JXTA core libraries
that has not been implemented yet.  I have been using the JXTA lists in order
to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

In the meantime, I am now ready to start working on the reference
implementation hardware design.



James,

Do you happen to have a diagram of your RS232 serial line multidrop design?  My
initial plan was to go with 1-Wire for the reference hardware but I am very
reluctant to deal with Dallas Semiconductor directly to obtain serial-to-1Wire
converters (DS9097Us) and it looks like we are about 3 months away from having
a second source for an equivalent serial-to-1Wire board.

uVMs using your RS232 multidrop idea seem to be an excellent non-1Wire based
solution to the problem and so I would like to proceed with this strategy


Ted
