Hi folks, I'm looking for a chip/module which allows me to switch power lines (220V) via ethernet and transmit some sensor data (ie. key hits or analog/digitized data from temperature sensors,...) It doesnt necessarily have to be IP, some low level directly on ethernet is also okay, since these devices and the controlling system will sit on the same segment. Is there any usable stuff available ? How can I use it ? I'm really really new to hardware development (i'm software developer). thx. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service phone: +49 36207 519931 www: http://www.metux.de/ fax: +49 36207 519932 email: contact at metux.de cellphone: +49 174 7066481 --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- DSL ab 0 Euro. -- statische IP -- UUCP -- Hosting -- Webshops -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Look for the EZ80, this is a Z80 microcontroller with integrated MAC and 32 IO's. You can even run your own web server on it. Look at the Zilog website. You can even buy a full dev kit for 400$ ----- Original Message ----- From: Enrico Weigeltweigelt at m...> To: Date: Mon Dec 27 16:23:45 CET 2004 Subject: [oc] (newbie) chip for power switching an sensors via ethernet
