The X10SEND command needs a TW-523 interface.
Only ground, TX and Zero Cross, needs to be connected for transmission.
Use CONFIG X10 to specify the pins.
X10 is a popular protocol used to control equipment via the mains. A 110 KHz signal is added to the normal 50/60 Hz , 220/110 V power.
Notice that experimenting with 110V-240V can be very dangerous when you do not know exactly what you are doing !!!
In the US, X10 is very popular and wide spread. In Europe it is hard to get a TW-523 for 220/230/240 V.
I modified an 110V version so it worked for 220V. On the Internet you can find modification information. But as noticed before, MODIFY ONLY WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
A bad modified device could result in a fire, and your insurance will most likely not pay. A modified device will not pass any CE, or other test.
When the TW-523 is connected to the mains and you use the X10SEND command, you will notice that the LED on the TW-523 will blink.
The following table lists all X10 codes.
