'N' New slaves can be added as per requirement

You still haven't said what is the limit on N.

You also didn't answer why just polling up to that limit is not possible - though, of course, that might be immediately obvious once the limit on N is known...



N means any number of nodes , whose physical address isnt known, yet they knows the masters physical address . I need some effective way to find how many are present within the reach of the master .

   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      
                                                                                    Richard, Richard            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      
                                                                                             Reading Erik's mind            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                Address+Mask - an RF twist            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                   let me clarify            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                Russ, I admire your "psychic abilities'            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                                                         Starting over            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                            Russ, you may very well be right            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                   Erik, that is not what was asked for!            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                      whic i would have done ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                         Perhaps you\'re not aware ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                                            1) abd 2)            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                                             NOT "mask address" but "mask AND address"            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                           Very tricky indeed            01/01/70 00:00

                                                                           It is absolutly required for my scheme            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      
   OK, here's an idea            01/01/70 00:00      
      collisions avoidance ?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Surely the master needs to know its slaves?!            01/01/70 00:00      
            identifying slaves            01/01/70 00:00      
         I can not help with collisions but..            01/01/70 00:00

            not that urban legend again            01/01/70 00:00      
               Accepted terminology            01/01/70 00:00      
            Collisions will still happen            01/01/70 00:00      
               Yes, but how will the system respond?            01/01/70 00:00      
            Listen Before Xmit ......            01/01/70 00:00      
               if slaves can "speak without being spoken to"            01/01/70 00:00
