3 and more arduinos communicating ???

hej,

did anyone of you tryed to let more then two arduinos communicat, or did even one of you already developt a protocoll or library?

i was planing on using one arduino as a masterdevice for 3-11 slaves
futher more i was planing to have the communication on just one wirre for the signal and run on RS485 (using max485).

it would be nice if some of you could give some tips how to do it (asspecialy how to read bits and bytes)
so i don't have to start from scratch,

in genrall i just need very easy communication (just 0/1 request and checking for the right name of the slave etc.)

thanks a lot

hi

one way is with the Arduino to Xbee shield designed by Libelium.. the Xbee's can make a mesh network.
