X10 home automation with pic16f877

Hi everyone,

I'm doing X10 home automation using pic16f877A, my only reference is AN236, I'm tying to do exactly what's in the application note. The thing is the note is intended for consumers of 110VAC/60Hz, while mine is 230-240AC/50Hz, to solve the problem of power supply, I referred to old threads, you can refer here.

Anyway, the app note provides the entire schematic cct with North America ratings, the source code provided and downloadable from microchip website, it's in .asm , I wish it was in .c

If anyone had come across it, I do have some Qs needing answers.



If anyone had modified the whole application note and made it work for 230-240AC/50Hz, I'd really really be thankful if you share with me your valuable efforts.

Thank you tpetar, it's very beautiful project. I had encountered a problem when trying to run Bluetooth-based-smart-home.exe, the dialog window displays "Component 'mscomm32.oxc' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered : a file is missing or invalid' my OS is both of win7 and xp, 64bit.

Anyway, for the mean time I want to stick to x10 hoping it'll work, I need help in the HW side, the components have ratings that are suitable for 110VAC/60Hz. What shall I change and what to leave

You dont have someting in Your OS, some files are missing. I try on WinXP and works fine. Try to install .NET Framework.
