Re: cm11 0xfe 0x66???



I am not sure it has any meaning. Normally, the CM11A only sends a few
unsolicited codes. 0xA5 repeated every second indicates power has been
interrupted, 0x5A repeated every second indicates it has data in its buffer,
0x5B indicates a macro has been triggered, 0x55 indicates the CM11A is ready
(after sending a command to powerline). It also sends a checksum after you
have sent it a command via the serial port.

0xFE 0x66 would seem to be address codes J2 and A1 but they really only have
those meanings when received in the proper context.

However, it is not uncommon for the CM11A to have its brain scrambled after
which it will send nonsense repeatedly, sometimes repetitive, sometimes
random. The most common cause is, while the CM11A is plugged into the
powerline, leaving the serial cable connected to the CM11A but unconnected
on the other end. Usually, this can be cleared by a quick power-cycle but
I've seen incidences where a longer rest was needed.

Have you managed to clear it? That isn't clear from your latest post.
