A similar inquiry
Hi,
Like Krille, I have an application that the 633 might possibly be adapted for. Initially I'm looking for 50 units, but numbers could be more significant if we're successful. We will need to implement a higher-level (but simple) protocol for RS-232 serial communications to support an industrial control environment. Also, the units may require some unique address, thus requiring some flashable (or similar) memory on board. Hopefully no hardware changes tho
I understand that you will build custom firmware if the customer pays and I'd like to explore this option further. As another option, maybe you can supply the 633 (or similar) in a user-programmable form? Depending on cost the second option could be more desirable, since it will give us more control over the final product and help to keep our external costs down.
FYI - the things I'm particularly like in the 633 are:
1) the low cost
2) the simple, attractive keypad layout
3) the 1-wire support
The fan controllers are redundant for this application.
kind regards, Chris Chamberlain
