Hi All,
The serial adapter I currently use can be found at a reasonable price really, from
http://phanderson.com/lcd106/lcd107.html, 2.95 each in 100 qty, having said that, I still do not want to us them as I do not have confidence in any device I have not seen the code for, especially when it comes to embedding operations code into my applications for products I wish to sell to a manufacturer, additionally I do not care to have his test routine or splash screen on my application. For a gadget to use around the house, then sure, I will use them. I have seen 1 or 2 out there written in assembler or C, C++, I suppose I will continue to hammer on the listed code until I am satisfied it works as expected every time and always. Right now I waiting for an order of 4x20 displays from China.
