Subject: [68HC12] is anyone interested in an open source board?
I designed the following board last year with some ideas for some home
automation projects and have never really gotten around to them. I was
wondering if there would be any interest if I documented and released
all the plans?
Here's some pictures

It uses the two SPI ports, converted to 3.3v and brought out to two
sockets that an Xbee (Zigbee) radio can plug into. Other boards that
can plug in are RS232, USB, and ethernet (Xport and DigiPort)
The processor is a HCS12DP256/512 with CAN transceivers (brought out to
RJ45), SPI EEmem, RTC, 5.12v precision A/D ref and is designed to mount
into a standard home automation cabinet or a low cost potting case
I have other boards for I/O expansion and for a 5 port CAN hub.
What I am looking for would be some gage of interest before going to the
effort to do this but I would also like to see a few people commit to
writing some drivers for the add-on's, Xbee and Ethernet specifically.
They would then be included in the package (with credit given, of
course). I only have the one prototype so you would have to build your
own boards or arrange a group purchase if there was enough interest.
