Anyone know if there are any sample programs for the X-10 Module controller on
the parallax web site at:
http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=27940
?
thanks,

I am specifically looking for use with a lamp dimming module.

' Program: X10_DEMO.BS2 (Demonstration of X-10 control
using Xout)
' This program--really two program
fragments--demonstrates the
' syntax and use of the new XOUT command. Basically,
the command
' works like pressing the buttons on an X-10 control
box; first you
' press one of 16 keys to identify the unit you want
to control,
' then you press the key for the action you want that
unit to
' take (turn ON, OFF, Bright, or Dim). There are also
two group-action
' keys, Lights ON and All OFF. Lights ON turns all
lamp modules on
' without affecting appliance modules. All OFF turns
off all modules,
' both lamp and appliance types.
' Using XOUT requires a 4-wire (2-I/O pin) connection
to a PL-513 or
' TW-523 X-10 module. See the application note for
sources.
zPin con 0 ' Zero-crossing-detect pin from TW523 or
PL513.
mPin con 1 ' Modulation-control pin to TW523 or PL513.
' X-10 identifies modules by two codes: a House code
and a Unit code.
' By X-10 convention, House codes are A through P and
Unit codes are
' 1 through 16. For programming efficiency, the Stamp
II treats both
' of these as numbers from 0 through 15.
houseA con 0 ' House code: 0=A, 1=B... 15=P
Unit1 con 0 ' Unit code: 0=1, 1=2... 15=16
Unit2 con 1 ' Unit code 1=2.
' This first example turns a standard (appliance or
non-dimmer lamp)
' module ON, then OFF. Note that once the Unit code is
sent, it
' need not be repeated--subsequent instructions are
understood to
' be addressed to that unit.
xout mPin,zPin,[noparse][[/noparse]houseA\Unit1] ' Talk to Unit 1.
xout mPin,zPin,[noparse][[/noparse]houseA\uniton] ' Tell it to turn ON.
pause 1000 ' Wait a second.
xout mPin,zPin,[noparse][[/noparse]houseA\unitoff] ' Tell it to turn
OFF.
' The next example talks to a dimmer module. Dimmers
go from full
' ON to dimmed OFF in 19 steps. Because dimming is
relative to
' the current state of the lamp, the only guaranteed
way to set a
' predefined brightness level is to turn the dimmer
fully OFF, then
' ON, then dim to the desired level. Otherwise, the
final setting of
' the module will depend on its initial brightness
level.
xout mPin,zPin,[noparse][[/noparse]houseA\Unit2] ' Talk to Unit 2.
' This example shows how to combine X-10 instructions
into a
' single line. We send OFF to the previously
identified unit (Unit2)
' for 2 cycles (the default for non-dimmer commands).
Then a comma
' introduces a second instruction that dims for 10
cycles. When you
' combine instructions, don't leave out the number of

the number of
' cycles, the instruction as the house code, etc.

has a new module for two-way).
Receiving two-way off the 523 requires listening to the zero-crossing
signal, and then getting the presence or absence of pulses --
something the Stamp does not have the speed to do.
The Basic Atom DOES have X10in commands -- BUT, you have to tell it
the house code you want to recieve codes for. My desired use was to
monitor the X10 signals to allow a controller to know what the state
of X10 commands in the house was -- and the Atom doesn't really
support this.
My research has not been exhaustive -- I'd like more input on this
subject also. AllanL.

the PLIX http://www.micromint.com/products/chips.htm . I have never used
either of these chips, but I believe they are capable of handling the two
way communication between a PC or a microcontroller and a TW523. There are
some application notes on their site
http://www.micromint.com/app_notes/plixapp.htm .

Knowing nothing about this topic, why is this so? 0-crossing only
takes place at 120-hZ (in the 60-hZ parts of the world). Seems
slow, to me .. but then, as I say, I'm sure I'm missing something.
I'll be getting in to X10 modules soon (not Stamp controlled) for
ambient lighting control in my new -real- home theatre.
