RE: [Embedlets-dev] Is/Are Embedlets alive?

[Kelly S. <be...@ea...>]

IM<HO - Embedlets might be fizzle, but JackNet will sizzle; as long as it's
using an X10 module connected to a toaster, or a heater... or for that
matter ANYTHING ELECTRICAL.

X10 is the most unreliable piece of crap electronics foisted upon commercial
electronics user's since the ignition system on on the Ford Pinto (my little
joke).  E.g., I would not use X10 on a toaster... you could and probably,
would set your house on fire).

Best regards, Kelly Smith

All I'm thinking is that we could make a simple I/O board which plugs into
the Embedlet connector and uses I2C for some analog inputs and digital I/O,
without taking up a JSimm slot. We'd use this board to help test TILT400
and TStik.

It appears that Embedlets might be fizzling so my question may be moot.
We'll still do the board since we need one ourselves.
