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!

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?
