Further to my attempt to create a cable IDer. How can I generate a
unique "code" to be sent along a twisted pair cable? The ID say 1001
1001 1001 1001 sent constant from one end would have to be read at the
far end with a device that could display the code received. So one end
has a device sending a coded sequence the near end would have to be able
to READ that code and display on a LCD or LED which code it was
receiving.

Then if I can read this info how can I program the far end device to
send a different code down different outputs? Say I have 5 cables I want
to send a different code down each cable, the near end device should
than pick up which cable code is being detected

Tx attached to   Code               cable   LCD Display

Cable one        1001 1001 1001 >>>>>>>>>>> Cable #1
Cable Two        1101 1101 1101 >>>>>>>>>>> Cable #2

How many unique codes could I generate that would output to individual
output lines per chip?
