#137910 - Interrupt Request? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Maybe you could give your slaves an open-collector (or similar) "Interrupt Request" output;
Wire-OR these together and connect to an RS232 transmitter; Connect this to a suitable input pin on the PC's COM port - such as RI (Ring Indicator); When the PC sees RI, it polls the slaves to see which one needs service... I suggest RI, because that's a way that any standard comms software would recognise an incoming call event from a standard modem - so it should be easy to handle on the PC... |
