hi if you already mentioned avr and would like to build things yourself then you can definitively build it yourself, see tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200606/article06061.shtml (you'll need an enc28j60 as well).
you can buy avrs through ebay/digikey/mouser or in israel either arihav or some stores in shdreot bnei zion, ta. <http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200606/article06061.shtml>a question though - why ethernet of all things? why not lay an rs-232 cable (avrs got internal uart for that) + max232 for the voltages and be done with it? itay 2010/4/21 Erez D <[email protected]> > hi guys. > > i have a warehouse. it has two connections to the buildings - power and > ethernet. > > i want to control the warehouse external lights from the house. > > I thought of buying an X10 light switch, but it seems that each consts > around 50$, which is expensive > so my other option is a computer i can control (prefferably a linux box, > somthing like nslu2). > > so: > 1. anybody knows of a cheap place to buy X10 stuff (or somthing similiar) ? > 2. what is the cheepest "computer" (doesn't have to be a full computer, an > avr with ethernet and gpio will do) ? > > thanks. > erez. > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-il mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il > >
