Hello everyone! I am working on power line communication and i am getting confused whether i should go for serial communication or any other protocol, Can anyone suggest me the same.
Regards, Salma
it has been done,but i am trying for the low cost one. my application is automatic meter reading.
with 1,2 or 3 ADCs etc added to "the low cost one" I will virtually guarantee you will come up with something more expensive than using one of the dedicated meter chips (some have a '51 core).

I think he's talking about low-cost powerline modems rather than the actual metering bit?
However, the spirit of your comment may well apply - ie, getting a "cheap" modem to actually work reliably and with the required performance may well end up being more expensive than just using a "good" (ie, more expensive) modem in the first place...!
Especially if you need to account for the cost of your time...
