I've got my new solid state motor controller PCB (just a chip, really), and the USB-to-Serial-and-GPIO converters.

I'm going to combine one USB converter with the motor controller and motor, into a simpler bus-powered Frankenswitch device. This takes 3 GPIO pins: one for "clockwise", one for "anti-clockwise", and another for "idle" mode.

That still leaves many more pins, and a full serial interface unused.. mmmm...
