Hi Luis, I kinda get what you're talking about Perhaps what I've done may help I developed a modular system which took readings from analogue (and digital) sensors and sent them by SMS to the end user The core processor is an 18F4550, and plug-in modules are all 18F1320. Originally I used I2C between them but changed this to RS232. For very remote sensors I used 4-20mA loops or a 433MHz link Depending on what function is assigned to a module (which can be hard-coded or set using jumpers) - eg temperature, water level, or just plain voltage measurement - the module will include that, and the scale, if any, to the header it sends back to the core. I found it to be quite a robust system If you could provide more detail about how you expect your system to work perhaps I can meet you halfway Joe --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
