Hi.
Am looking at a solar powered setup with
2 x separate device/picaxe/xrf or erf setups -->> <<-- 1 x URF (both devices sending to the same URF)
Qs
1. how to distinguish between the two remote devices?
2. since both these devices will be running off batteries charged by solar, I plan to shut them down (low power sleep on the Picaxes/power off or low power mode on xrf/erf) whenever it is not light (by readadc of the solar panel output V).
3. one device will be sending data every minute, the other every 30 minutes. How feasible is it to keep puttng this to sleep and waking it up again at these intervals realiably. Have read where sometimes constant recycling of such devices can lead to instability. Are the xrf/erf modules stable in such an environment?
As I have 08M, 14M and 28X1 on hand and only need 08M to do the job, is there likely to be an issue using regular serin/out as opposed to hserin/out?
Thanks
