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 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
