Astronomy Hardware - converting serial to USB and DC Motor control via PC

[Scampy]

Thanks once again for the input. Having ready the datasheet and application notes the CP2103 seems like an ideal option...

@kellyeye Thanks for the link, will take a look now

I've looked at piggybacking signals on the controls for MEADE. Autostar has "Meade Telescope Serial Command Protocol" via ASCOM that includes commands for focus (and you could just "listen in" on the receiving end).

If your gear is using RS232, why are you messing with USB?

Ioannis, I started this thread five years ago, and since then commercial items have appeared on the market, so opted for that.
