Use JABBER to Chat to Your Router & its Devices
It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with these pages, and since then, a lot has changed. Both the hardware I’m using and the Internet Services available. When I first looked at using the sweex router for hardware control, … Continue reading
Blassic I2C Mains Remote Control
Using the Remote Control Unit with the Pic I2C Slave connected to the Midge Router, it is possible to use Blassic to control regular mains devices via the the network. Here is a sample.
Blassic PIC I2C I/O with Peek & Poke
Here is a little (extended)Blassic program to read the PIC 16F876A I2C Slave.
EEPROM PCF8582C-2
The PCF8582C-2 is a 256×8 bit CMOS EEPROM. It contains less memory than some PIC Processors! As have a few of these chips, I use them as a benchmark for the Router and PIC I2C interfaces.
Router I2C Interface
These are the I2C Bus Hardware and Software settings I am using with the on OpenWrt Midge router to talk to a PIC 16F876 I2C Slave.
Adding a Serial Port
Fitting a serial converter and lead insider the I/O Bus box gives us back a socket for other projects and gets the serial converter out of harms way. Cutting a couple of I/O Bus tracks opens up even more options.
