> this list about 4-20 mA piqued my interest because wired systems > are being phased out and replaced by reliable wireless systems I do use a combination in one application. An existing 4-20mA pressure transducer is read by a 12F675 and transmitted using slow Manchester to the main processor 50m away. Ideally the costly, 4-20mA transducer would be replaced with a simpler device but, meh, it's already there Comments have certainly made me take a look at current industrial technologies and where I'm falling behind, thanks -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
