Another idea is to make a very very simple RS485 hub using (almost
nothing but) MAX485 type chips. One can connect the the output of each
chip to the input on all the other chips. This way, anything
broadcasted by one node will be sent to every other node. However,
what are the issues with this. Also, how does one terminate the line
in this case?
