Re: [Flashforth-devel] FF3.8 MPLABX

[Peter J. <pe...@me...>]

I forgot to say that most of the projects are eventually stand alone,
powered by batteries or plug-pack.  Being able to connect the RS232
when we want to make an adjustment and then being able to
disconnect, leaving the device running, is another advantage
of the old-school-232 connection over the USB connection.
