["Alex Ciurea" <alex@xxxxxxx>]

Ian and Dave, I've found the documentation for AM12. Thanks!
The cost isn't a problem, a really big problem.....
The source for buying the ready-to-use devices is a problem. I have
connections in Italy ( not the sicilian mafia :)). just friends ) but I
don't know if they have something like this in there... Anyway, I'll ask
them.

Also, I would like to build this device for future development reasons.

I have another questions:

The AM12 takes the place for CM12 device? I still need the LM12, correct?
(which in this case, I must buy it)

How can I control (on-the-fly) the AM12 through a PC?

Thanks alot,
Alex.
