CAN bus was thought of but as we needed to interface with an onther RS-485 system it was put in the drawer again. I do am tempted to switch to it as the main bus and in case of old system have a RS-485 doughter card the adopt to them. Will certenly put some time on CAN after this new card is done and maybe change later next year if possible. I'll have a look on the VSCP project also... All products will be on a web site about february next year.
