Announcing two new kits in development. Should be available in a month or two.
Kit #1 Pelican Prototyping Board & Mongoose Piggyback with USB to RS232(TTL)
A partial schematic shown below. First blueroomelectronics kit to use a SSOP IC (FT232RL)
It can be attached to the top of a Mongoose robot kit and can be connected to the Mongoose TTL RS232 port. Makes a USB bootloader/downloader possible.
Also works nicely as a standalone prototyping board.
Will probably add a couple of switches and LEDs to the USER connector.
Kit #2 (Not shown) will be a USB to RS232, RS422 & RS485 adapter
Very similar to the FT232 but includes a MAX3160 Multiprotocol Transceiver IC. Not yet named, think of Robin (RS232 etc...)
