Re: BX24-AHT code snippet

WOW,

Does this go back some time....

Yup.  T. Laureanno here... back from a rather long break I would say.
Glad (or am I really) to see my name sprinkled throughout this thread.
So, there appears to be a little controversy here re: the adaptation of
the whole house transceiver?  I must say though from the top, I believe
I was the first to develop such a device and I was happy enough to
share my finding with others who had interests (I in fact am still
using the whole house transceiver I designed years ago).  I really do
not want to get into a pissing contest here but Dave, you must admit
that I did initially come up with the decoding scheme and most
importantly, the idea of interfacing to the RF daughterboard.  I would
hate to think that others illegally made $$ off of something I
intellectually own, but in any case, to me, it's "water under the
bridge".  In the past, I have learned to watch what I often freely
divulge to people over the internet.  Lessons been learned (Dave and
Ido are just a few examples).  BTW (here comes a plug!), my webpage has
been moved to www.laureanno.com

cheers,
Tom
