PJ_model_trains Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 [quote]Using the ring main is fairly common now for data tranfer.[/quote] It's amazing, house wires feed power and yet packets of information, Films etc, etc is also passed down the line or was it up the line at the same time. It wasn't cheap, it was a gadget I had to have. Ethernet would have been cheaper, but because of my situation I cannot do it and after having gas central heating installed when we moved in the wife said... no more carpets up! We have come a long way from the oil lamp and the dynamo on a push bike ;-) PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have just googled it and depending which of the two wires on your land line is disconnected your broadband will work on the one wire. Regarding using the mains, I can connect a BT FREEVIEW box downstairs to my broadband router upstairs via the mains. The BT box plugs into the mains via a special adapter and the server is plugged in the same way upstairs. The box gets TV progs from the Internet along the mains cable. Scary.

PJ_model_trains Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Just remind me what all this discussion has got to do with Loco Detection. Hi RDS A question was raised... Can data be passed down 'one wire' ? Some say data cannot be sent back on one wire it needs two. Some say it can and have explained the reason. Have a read back and you will see how data transfer down a wire has evolved. PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetmanUK Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 [quote]Just remind me what all this discussion has got to do with Loco Detection.[/quote] Your right RDS, I hate these threads that go completely off the subject. BTW those Maplin powerlinks are way way over priced. Look for TP-Link pairs with pass-through on Amazon for about £23. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkingthedog Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 We were doing alright with the single wire then it seemed to get onto using a ring main to pass data. Think it was still relevant though. Could the track be used to pass LD data. If you can access the Internet via a ring main why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
