Just post any hardware you want to see here and we will start discussing it
Suggested so far: RFID - So far it looks like a No on thi s one, most people wont use it and thier are better ways to implement it CIR/FIR - its in and alwas has been, should have the extended range that people want for TV Abient light detector - unkown, there is a posibility but using the camera would be a better option as it has these built in for auto compinsation Person detector - not feasiable but alternetives exsist |

Well, for the sake of throwing in extra hardware to at least discuss. . . Well, the only thing that hasn't either been officially rejected or included now. . is Serial. . Which seemed to mysteriously disappear.
Any chance of a Serial port for connecting to my Servers? That and an LED torch? (The Sony Erricson that I've been lent till I can get my new Universal has one which I find useful. .) Just a white LED beam torch. And obviously we won't be using a standard 9FD or DTE port. . . But some sort of RS232 IO onboard? That way I can use the PPZ as a Serial Terminal without having to hook up C3PO, my RS232<=>TCPIP translator unit. |
