Writting your own X10 software

How hard have you looked ?

... Marc Marc_F_Hult

i have looked at these but they only say the software works with the cm11a, are both devices comatible with the same software i havnt tryed it yet but i will.

Thanks i will give that a go tonight then :-)

using the sample code but error keeps happening from craigs creations

Error 1 The type 'System.IO.Ports.SerialPort' exists in both 'c:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v2.0.50727\\System.dll' and 'c:\\Documents and Settings\\jpw\\Desktop\\Jeff2\\bin\\SerialPort.dll' C:\\Documents and Settings\\jpw\\Desktop\\Jeff2\\CraigsCreations.com.X10\\X10CM11aController.cs 47 11 CraigsCreations.com.X10

any help

Dave Houst> Aside from the mains voltage, all of the CM11* devices are identical in

Settings\\jpw\\Desktop\\Jeff2\\CraigsCreations.com.X10\\X10CM11aController.cs 47 11 CraigsCreations.com.X10

It looks 2 different components are using the same NameSpace. 'System.IO.Ports.SerialPort' is a NameSpace in .Net 2.0

I believe Craig had written the X10Controller app in .Net 1.5 (I did not see the code yet) The SerialPort.dll is also using 'System.IO.Ports.SerialPort as its namespace.

The SerialPort.dll should be recreated using a different namespace. Or recode the application to use .Net 2.0 serial ports.

i have gone back to using the lower version of .net framework useing visual studio .net 2003 but it all compiles but now parts of the code are missing the xml comment for publicly visible type or member.

has anyone used craigs code and got it to work guess alot of people have if so has anyone modifyed it to make it very easy to use. has anyone made there own libary they could email me. the simpler the better eg run program turn house code A unit code 2 ON

thanks Jeff
