Hi Guys,
I'm in the process of implementing some simple control nodes (just
switches) and looking for the simplest (cheapest) network protocol to
use. To date, LIN bus seems to be the best candidate. I need very
low speed, high reliability and low off-board distance (a few up to
10s of feet).
Ideally, something that could be two wire with power and data combined
would be ideal, so that the power could be distributed to power the
slave nodes. LIN is good, but it requires a 4 wire (or 3 I suppose)
interface.
I looked at ASI (Acuator Sensor Interface), but not sure how practical
it is.
Anything else on the radar screen?
