Actually that is async serial. Microprocessors don't speak RS-232. RS-232 is an electrical spec. On the other hand, I agree with you about the UART being easy to interface with. I just prefer to do it with RS-485, with is much less susceptable to outside noise. -- D. Jay Newman ! jay@sprucegrove.com !
