I'd appreciate some advice on modules to use for a demo I need to put together. I've written a computer software program that controls things and I'd like to control some X10 or similar modules. The demo I'd like to put together would involve an RC car being detected at five points on a table, detecting that it passed those points with a PC, and then turn on a light and play a recorded sound when it passes one specific point on the table. It would probably be just a straight run down the length of the table with the motion detectors spread evenly along the table. Maybe the fourth detector would cause a light to turn on and a sound to get played. I'm OK with programming a serial connection or implementing an X10 (or similar) interface into my control software.
Any ideas on what modules would work for this?
Thanks,
Curtis |

The only suggestions I can make would be to look at the PUM01 and PSC01, these devices take a contact closure to send an X10 signal, or take an X10 signal and close a contact.
Triggering these devices depends on your environment. |
