I just wanted to share some pictures of another aspect of the same home automation project.

What I'm doing here is connecting a TI CC2520 802.15.4 transceiver to a ybox2, using a break-out board that I designed a few months ago. I'm in the process of developing the CC2520 driver for the Propeller now, and hope to have it working in a week or two. After that, I'll be developing a 6LoWPAN stack for the propeller chip. Fun times.

So what are the possibilities?

• 802.15.4 tunnel, for connecting two Zigbee networks in different locations.
• 6LoWPAN to ethernet bridge.
• 6LoWPAN border router.
• TV-based 802.15.4 network monitor

I'll be exploring all of these options in the weeks to come.

A couple more pictures:
