<div dir="ltr">hi<div>if you already mentioned avr and would like to build things yourself then you can definitively build it yourself, see</div><div><a href="http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200606/article06061.shtml">tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200606/article06061.shtml</a> (you'll need an enc28j60 as well).</div>
<div><br></div><div>you can buy avrs through ebay/digikey/mouser or in israel either arihav or some stores in shdreot bnei zion, ta.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/200606/article06061.shtml"></a>a question though - why ethernet of all things? why not lay an rs-232 cable (avrs got internal uart for that) + max232 for the voltages and be done with it?</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div dir="ltr">hi guys.<br><br>i have a warehouse. it has two connections to the buildings - power and ethernet.<br><br>
i want to control the warehouse external lights from the house.<br><br>I thought of buying an X10 light switch, but it seems that each consts around 50$, which is expensive<br>
so my other option is a computer i can control (prefferably a linux box, somthing like nslu2).<br><br>so:<br>1. anybody knows of a cheap place to buy X10 stuff (or somthing similiar) ?<br>2. what is the cheepest "computer" (doesn't have to be a full computer, an avr with ethernet and gpio will do) ?<br>
<br>thanks.<br>erez.<br></div>
