Ahh.. good. Another brand/source for this kind of stuff. These ones look a little less turn-key than some of the others, but in the same ballpark for price.

Thanks!


The Arduino is all open hardware/open source, so of course it'll be a little rough around the edges wink There are a lot of people using them for little projects just because it is so easy to work with.

Also since you're looking at just a USB->Serial with some GPIO pins, take a look at this http://www.gridconnect.com/xportdirect.html
It is a Ethernet to Serial interface also with some GPIO pins.

I'm using one of those hooked into the Arduino I've got so it can talk to the network directly without needing a computer.
