    Default Xin/Xout 50Hz vs 60Hz The story

    I have been looking with a scoop to the timings regarding to the zerocrossing as reference

    In a 60hz system timings are as followed:
    Bursts are at 120 Khz, 1 millisecond long
    1 half periode = 1/120 hz (2x 60hz) = 0,0083333333333333333333333333333333 sec There are 3 burst per zerocrossing Timing between each burst regarding to zerocrossing from 60hz is 2.778 ms,5.556 ms and 8.333 ms

    In a 50hz system timings should be as followed:
    Bursts are at 120 Khz, 1 millisecond long
    1 half periode = 1/100 hz (2x 50hz) = 0,01 sec
    There are 3 burst per zerocrossing
    Timing between each burst regarding to zerocrossing from 50hz is 3.333 ms,6.666 ms and 10.000 ms

    I had the same problem with another US X-10 microcrontroller project and we arranged it this week

    So a conclusion is: X-10 Xin/Xout can not work on a 50Hz system
    I contacted Melabs to inform them, and I got some immediate support
    I hope that they come with a solution soon
