Now that I'm back in town, I thought I'd introduce myself as well to the =
rest of you.
First, professionally, I'm a BSEE currently working for a small company =
(derivative of Nortel) delivering telephone solutions for the cable TV =
industry. I've been out of design for years now, at the office, but =
still love to fire up the soldering iron and prom burner at home.
I've been designing X-10 controllers for many years (10 or 15; ever =
since the X-10 first came out as "BSR"). Been using mainly 6805 type =
micro-controllers but have also used 6502, 8085, 8051 and others; mainly =
8-bitters.
Just moved into a new house and have got the security system and HA =
system up and running; using my own design for X-10 control (I tried the =
Activehome kit but got frustrated with the constant 'crashes' and =
failures to run the macro's) and another X-10 interfaces controller for =
the security system (Anyone want schematics or software?).
I use alot of the PIR X-10 devices and Palmpads to automate and a timer =
only for things that are ALWAYS occuring at the same time every day (or =
weekend or whatever). Timers are useless on holidays; the wife really =
used to complain about lights coming on at 'normal' wake-up times on a =
holiday Friday or whatever.
Just getting into video distribution (the security system and caller-id =
device are available on 2 channels of my in-house cable system) and have =
purchased a videocam module to add some security to the house.
Oh yeah, I live in Atlanta, GA.
Cheers,
Mitch
