Hi All, Does anybody know how to emulate networking on the BX-24? I want to set up a BX-24 network and control them from a PC something like the I2C protocol. Any help would be much appreciated. Chris Benton East Point Military Museum www.epmm.com.au

It kind of depends on what hardware features of the BX-24 you're willing to give up for it. If you can give up one of the serial ports and pin 11 (the HW interrupt pin), then it would be relatively simple to make a two-wire master/slave bus with one master and an arbitrary number of slave devices on it. If you wanted a little better reliability so you could handle longer transmissions, you could add a clock signal pin as well. The nice thing about using an interrupt-driven signal line is that the slaves on the bus can be doing other stuff, and they will get interrupted when the master has something to say. If the master is talking to another device, then the slave can go back to whatever it was doing, and ignore completely what is coming in on the clock and data lines.
