Hi,

Although I've now discontinued the part because with the weight of the
big guys behind Zigbee makes that so much cheaper I still think the
CANRF (www.canrf.com) was an ideal choice for a small simple mesh
network.  Kind of regret not going further with it using a PIC with
internal CAN and a simple stack but there are only so many hours in a
day and CNC type projects making things move were far more interesting.
