Re: Hardware BSC mapper



I am investigating the possibility of producing a board with just a
single RS232 serial port, power supply and Rabbit chip with Ethernet
that would enable a fairly low cost embedded solution - hopefully coming
in under the Netiom price wise.  This would offer the BSC Mapper
functionality and capability for support of one serial device eg the
Meteor for CID perhaps - or HomeVision....

I maybe able to offer pre programmed Rabbit boards that would have no
onboard I/O except Ethernet - but would provide BSC Mapper functionality
+ web server configuration and maybe some basic scheduling if that's of
interest. That I'm guessing would be circa £50 ish - is that in
the
right ballpark do you think ?
