ISTR mention of the freebie BT yellow/blue one having serial data
somewhere=
=20
in it's guts, but I've not taken mine apart (yet!). Most of them (for
BT=20
format anyway) probably use the same Mitel chip (which is around =A35
and=20
needs not much else added to make it work, IIRC), part name is something=20
like MT8843- RS/Farnell or someone stock it? If that is the one in your=20
CLID box, then the datasheet will probably tell you what pin has serial=20
data on it.
I've got a homebrew CLID box kicking about at home, but haven't really=20
tried it out properly... and it's someone else who homebrewed it, so I=20
can't make the schematics public- sorry. But I can say that they are not
a=
=20
million miles from the ones in the Mitel datasheet, which is on the=20
web. I'll try to hunt out the URL if anyone is interested in 'rolling=20
their own'.
