I have a CP290 X10 interface connected via a Prolific USB serial adapter. The device is recognized by my PCLINUXOS and is assigned to ttyUSB0. I have modified Bruce Garlocks serial port data logger to use Device::Serial. The code appears to run correctly in that it opens and initializes the port. To contact the CP290 and receive data I must send the following hex string: 
$clock = pack('H34','FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF05');

[download]
<<<<< Is the above statement correct ????

I use the following command to send the string:

 $ob->write($clock);

[download]
<<<<< Will this write send the $clock string ???

I do not get a response from the CP290. The CP290 works very well via a DOS QBASIC program when connected directly to a comport.

Thanks for any suggestions
