I've been using transceivers from http://www.jizhuo.net but the baud is limited to 38.4kbps and they work really well.

Yours look even better as they have a higher speed up to 460.8kbps which means they can support lots more channels than mine, i can't see any reason why they won't work as they simply attach to the serial port to transmit the data, and as they state........

"this wireless serial port adapter is ideal for use in applications where a PDA or laptop would communicate with another device (SBC, RTU, sensor, robot, radio, PBX) wirelessly."

keep in mind though that renard increments its output address, all renards would need to be kept in a chain for them to work correctly.... ie you can't just link the transceiver to say 5 renards, it needs to connect to the first renard and that will output the signal for the next renard and so on.

I believe phil is working on something so they can be addressed individually, but that wont be available till next year.

Let us know if you buy them and how you get on with them.
