 		 #153337 - not easy
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Stefan Kanev said:
Many masters, many slaves , low cost solutions ....
More traffic, more time , more software .


Its not easy what you say , a lookup for 1000 or unknown slaves is by no means feasable . I have said before I dont know which slave can listen to master setting addresses is a horrible task :) . Any other solution than physically addressing the slaves has to be adopted.

   assign address to each slave?(with "jumpers")            01/01/70 00:00      
      Still you wont know which is which?            01/01/70 00:00      
         pay with time            01/01/70 00:00      
            not easy            01/01/70 00:00      
            or pay with money            01/01/70 00:00      
               or pay with money - not a solution            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Inherently not simple!            01/01/70 00:00      
         you cant poll for N number of slaves            01/01/70 00:00      
             automatic            01/01/70 00:00      
               N?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  N? - any            01/01/70 00:00      
         Ho about this ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            how do you propose to do that?            01/01/70 00:00      
               have a look at the picture on the website            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Obviously missing something here...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  dipswitch my butt            01/01/70 00:00      
                     it\'s pretty obvious, isn\'t it?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        first - then            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Once again you're assuming facts not in evidence            01/01/70 00:00      
                              The sample is much larger now            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 example            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Yes, it is            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 I like that ...            01/01/70 00:00      
            I Don't get it either.            01/01/70 00:00      
               It's reall not that complicated ... but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Still not with you            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Slaves to broadcast their presence HOW?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Not that difficult            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Thats fine but what if we have            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Then you really do need a database!            01/01/70 00:00      
                              you WILL get in big doo-doo            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 this is absolutely true!            01/01/70 00:00      
                           You\'ll need lots of switches and lots of ports            01/01/70 00:00      
                              totally off the rocker            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 How long, at 8kbps            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Who on Earth wants to do that            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       One has to set limits            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          It does not have to be manual            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             It has its "baggage"            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                no "significant burden" who cares about 'simpler'            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   Maybe we need to bring the O/P back to reality            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      I can't tell            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         I may be slow today....            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   ARP possiblities            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                Overhead - but possibly not too serious?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   You may be onto something ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      you don't get it            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         How long would it take?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            quicker than what?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               Obviously there's a trick involved            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  or ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     no patent ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        With that scheme you have to skip some            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           easy            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              No ... it means there's nobody at that one address            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 Not an address, an address mask            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                    not likely on low-cost RF            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       of course, but nobody woud dream of sending RF w/o            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          Miracle ? , I differ            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 confound it reat the stuff            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        no patent ... And after slaves colliding            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           after each 'find' it get faster            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              the cheap RF links are typically            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               Erik, please clarify one point            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  If one could devise a suitable RF protocol...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                     the key is to know more than is known here            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                        confound it can't you read            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                           You're assuming facts not in evidence.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                              if a response comes, your code is faulty            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                 So ... how does that differ from not transmitting?            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                                       Yes, but what SHOULD happen?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                       with a mask of zero any unassigned sign sho            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                          What is it you are recommending, Erik?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             Nothing I feel            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                              That is a non-starter with low-cost RF.            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  sorry            01/01/70 00:00
