Kevin et al, Sounds like we're all actually moving quite a long way forward on the xAP front. However, where we're, perhaps, falling down is on marketing the...

OK, PCB done. We now have 16 inputs, 8 outputs, control lines etc. and 3 LED's on a 40 pin chip. The PCB is looking a little crowded now and will be a real...

Steve, The C-Bus protocol is very interesting as it operates in a very compatible fashion to xAP. There is no central controller on a C-Bus network meaning...
