Hi,

First of all, are you using the CCS 'C' compiler? If not, you are in the wrong
forum!

If so, CCS supplies an example program that demonstrates how to use X-10
with the compiler. This program is located in the 'examples' folder once you
install the compiler. The filename is 'ex_x10.c'.

The hardest part of using X-10 is the interface to the powerline. The easiest
way to do this is to use a commercially available powerline interface like the
X-10 TW-523. This is the interface used by the CCS example program.
