I have been working on a system for longer than I care to remember....

Its triac based, driven by a PIC its at a working prototype stage I just
never get round to finishing it !

My system is always in flux (pun intended) the link has never been mains
carrier, first RS485 then CAN next step is TCP/IP, the archives have a
fairly detailed description of it.

I keep thinking next holiday I will get it finished but.... something else
crops up. I fact today was reserved for working on it, but haveing just
looked at my bank balance I think time would be better spent getting up to
date with my Invoicing !

John
