  1. hello,  ok i thought RG-45 was phone?

    The RG-11 is a phone jack to connect to a serial port on a PC.


    that confuzed me... is that not 3 different types of commucation?  also i have read up on the x10 and i would like to use them. i just need to find out how to program them?  and as far as making my own ..i think that would take longer then the time i have. so i think ill stick with the x10 What were the files you downloaded can you put a link to them? Also so you what your saying is there is more then one type of program that can program this.  kind of like there is more then one porgram to program C++ ok so ill search now for programming of the x10
    cheers,
    and thanks,
    glen
  2. well if you know a good x10 controller it would help....also how do you program them. is there a software that comewith the controller. or do you have to buy seprate? also i was looking at them and all i could see was a RG-11 interface? 1135_xyz3.gif
    now iam not sure on the programming but if it is RG-11 then would it be posable to go from the usb and use a usb-to-RG11 converter then strait to the x10 controller? What i was thinking was on the touchscreen (should be reciving thur) if i could have it send the data that the x10 would need then i would not need another microcontoller?... .. iam starting to confuse myself with what information the x10 needs in order to send the correct signals?

  3. Well still working on it...football game interupted the block diagram. 

    USB Dongle <--> USB Controller IC <==> Microcontroller <--> X10 Controling Devices -->Appliances


    should they all be two way... that way the screen would know if a llight is on or off?

    also you said microcontroller to x10 .. i can not go USB Dongle <--> USB Controller IC  stright to the x10.... and how much do you know about the x10 because i had some questions about it too and when i google it all i get is "for sale" items..dam internet..
    cheers

  4. yes the touchscreen is the terminal, and also yes iam belive iam giong to use the x10 system for the lights so what i need help on is the signal from the car touchscreen/terminal to the trasceiver then to the controller.. iam guessing if i could find the right trasceivers then it would not be a problem but iam cant find really any? do you know were i could look any good links... also the block diagram iam wokring on now i will post it ....looking a lot better mon.
    thanks,

    glen.

  5. any ideal on a block diagram for this project?    iam sure iam missing something on mine?
                                  in house touchscreen

                                                            v
    touchscreen -> transceiver -> micorocontroller-> (now iam using powerline commucation so do i need a certin microcontroller? ) and then from microcontroller to lightswitch reciver ->lights.


    pretty simple block diagram....toooo simple...what am i missing?
    thanks,

  6. First off, Borland's C++ Builder development suites do not support writing native applications for Windows CE 5 or Windows XP Embedded systems. This particular terminal is farther from a computer and nearer to a PocketPC. You would do well to look here for possible alternatives, such as eMbedded Visual C++ here -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/
    Why pay for development tools and operating system when you can use a free one like Linux?


    it comes with free software so i decided to use that...

    also if i used the active tags and the cell phone as the reader then it would just use the cellphone battary right and would last as long as the cell phone was being charged?
  7. 1ST OFF...  ok i spelled it wrong....geeezzzz...no matter how hard you look you wont find it.

    2nd i am going to do some research on the micocontroller and see if i can make this work with the  usb Dongle, 

    3rd, thanks for all the help and i was looking for a good rfid site so i will check that out tooo.

    4th...do you have a website for the usb dongle you posted...when i did a search i found lots of different ones?

    5th....this is a long topic...wow 3 pages..
    cheers,
