Re: FIRM



Hi Mark
 
        Thank you for your comments . The reason this project has come this far so quick is purely because it was aimed at hv and allowing hv to do all the smart stuff .Anyway lets move on ....................

Frank,
 
Well, I've been uncharacteristically silent on this thread to date :-) I've been sort of "flitting in an out" of this thread for several week as time allows. The reason I haven't contributed is that it strikes me that you guys already have a far better grasp of this than me.
 
No-one has criticised those who, say, have written a Meteor module for HomeSeer on the basis that "most people don't have HomeSeer", so I don't see why anyone should criticise you for designing stuff for HV.
 
I'd love to see this finalised as a product. I'll probably end up buying one...
 
Regards,

Mark

Hi all
        I wondered why i couldnt sleep (my ears are red). The initial post was enquiring how people  felt about my pricing. My My i dont feel deflated a little angry maybe thank god im not 20 years younger there would be all sorts of swear words flying...........Anyway thats life. The below comment was posted on the 30/6/02 at the end of a post ...................Got no response at all (at this point i felt deflated) admittly im not the greatest when it comes to explaining things (shut up andy_p) ,other people seem to explain it better than me,but i did try.......... 
 
 
 
>I was also thinking of adding an RS232 port to the Pic so that ir active data could be sent >say to a pc. Can the Girder Software talk to more than one serial port?
 
>Any comments/ideas
 
 
After spending approx 12 months on my homebrew ir system and then purchasing hv i wanted an easy solution to zoned ir , i didnt want to spend months on writing + debugging code and then having to add more code because someone didnt have this or only had that.
Yes you could say i was being selfish............

Hi All
        Firstly good to hear Ian B making progress with the relay board project.
    Over the next few Sundays my friend John has offered to design a pcb for my combined IR TX / RX UNIT as discussed over several posts . Up to now only one person would appear to be interested in this unit ,which is fine as it may not be every ones cup of tea. >Anyway if someone happens to be interested and got any suggested enhancements (easily implemented) can you please let me know before the weekend. The pcb will be double sided plated through and at this stage would i have no idea how much $ per board. Have a look at my site for info on the ir system.
 
THIS WAS RECEIVED 10/7/02  FROM AMAR
 
is this for use only with Homevision ?
could i use it distribute ir back to my node0 ?
 
 
THIS WAS MY REPLY
 
Hi Amar
            You can but you will need something with some sort of
intelligence to control it . It uses 4 outputs and 3 inputs of Homevision
,so thats what would be required with whatever hardware you use.

HTH

I think for the PC people Ian Birds solution is much more suited. I have read Ians idea regarding an interface and will speak to him. To be honest i didnt realise there were so many pc users...........If  Ian wants to design an i/face and sell it i have no problems with that at all.
