Hi all
I just thought I might suggest that if the
serial
route is taken then why not use the power line to send the data. Then the
only
connection to the display is to plug it into the mains, everyone can use it
and
it does not use up all the cat5 points. It also means that any number of
units
can be added without trying to multi drop the serial line or have many
serial
ports. Please do not think of the power line as in "X10", I use it and hate
it,
it was designed in the 70's and is outdated and slow. More modern equipment
is
far more resilient and much faster. I am very busy at the moment and
have
been doing a good deal of research in this area. It looks as though the
project
is moving at a fast pace but if you decide this as one of the options I may
be
able to help at a later date. I hope you didn't mind the idea.
