I'll work with the Freescale guys to get somewhere with the OF stuff - I know you're not so keen on this as the final solution, and I agree with you, but it looks like there might be sufficient critical mass here to finally do something about ppc boot records. >>FWIW Stefan, I am just setting up a similar power cycler setup to what >>you guys have there - found a cheap supplier of wireless 13A mains >>socket automation kits (<15EUR) in the local electronics store, >>butchered remote control unit, sufficient for a cheapo cycler. > Can you please send me some more details? I bought one of these yesterday: http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=-10523&TabID=1&source=15&WorldID=&doy=4m4 The remote control is trivially butchered and the buttons replaced with NPN transistors running off a PIC16F628 (well it will be by tonight). I've got a MAX233 doing RS232 to a PC for another project so am just reusing the comms to allow remote on/off control of 4-16 devices. Jon.
