What are the real differences between CM11A and CM15A?

<< < (2/2)

dhouston:
What OS/software are you using? I see where a few people are running a CM11A using heyu on a Raspberry Pi. That, along with a TM751 modified to handle all housecodes could make for a very good, low cost system.

That turns out to be easier said than done with the newer versions of the TM751. Older versions used a through-hole PIC and it was easy to replace it with one programmed to handle all housecodes (I've used one for 10-12 years.) but the newer ones use an Elan EM78P153SN 14-pin surface mount chip and I cannot find a PIC or AVR with a matching pinout.

I also have a Firecracker and was seeing about using it with heyu while I wait for my CM11A cable to arrive, but the heyu configuration process is a little... opaque, shall we say.

Ideally I'd like web access to whatever system I end up using, as well as mobile access and the ability to program devices. I can't tell if heyu does this or not yet.

I do not know a great deal about Heyu specifics - I've always written my own software. I'm also not sure who is maintaining it since Charles Sullivan died. This isn't clear from the Heyu website.

Are you running Linux on a PC or on something like the Raspberry Pi?

There is one rather powerful package for the Raspberry Pi but it looks like it requires SimpleHomenet's hardware.

The heyu webpage lists a few web interfaces.
