Perhaps I am just missing something, but I can't tell from the description whether the breakout board is just the PCB, a bag of parts, or an assembled device.
Also, any word on OSS linux drivers? they would be a requirement for my intended uses.
Also, I am curious as to the fastest rate possible, is it limited to 'serial-like' speeds of 9600, 14.4k etc, or can it utilize the full USB bandwidth? does it auto-negotiate the speed with the host or do I need to set it independently on the computer and on the chip (like I need too when doing straight RS232). I don't supose there is a way I can sidestep the issue and use it to communicate with a PIC synchronously.
also, are the levels RS232 (+12 -12) or the nicer +5, 0?
sorry for all the questions, I am just way overbudget on my tinkering and wanted to make sure I could use something before I buy it.
