 		 #173742 - And did *you* know what are you looking for?

In this particular case, you've been given answers!

Just as in this case - plenty of answers, but nothing quite what I was looking for!

And did *you* know what are you looking for? (I asked the same question back then, and got no answer from you).

I understand the "I don't know quite exactly at the moment, but as soon as I'll see I will know that's it" approach, but that rarely works. At least not when the variability of options is that big. It may work if you are going to chose a yorkshire terrier pup, maybe, but then there's not so much variability in them, is it?

Or, we can turn the question around, just for the fun of it. Assuming we have some money to spend, try to sketch an I2C buttons board - or a 232/485 board - to be offered as a COTS component.

      the idea was stated as...            01/01/70 00:00      
         It is a suggestion            01/01/70 00:00      
            Not a good idea            01/01/70 00:00      
            that it is            01/01/70 00:00      
   How about Phycore?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Legacy Product            01/01/70 00:00      
         oh, yes            01/01/70 00:00      
            Have a look at grifo            01/01/70 00:00      
   This looks good too            01/01/70 00:00      
   I've been wondering ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Likewise            01/01/70 00:00      
         Maybe, but who makes 'em?            01/01/70 00:00      
            8052 with only 1 UART            01/01/70 00:00      
               I'm surprised, but that's the case!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  why surprised?            01/01/70 00:00      
                     That's what I thought            01/01/70 00:00

                        comments            01/01/70 00:00      
                           It could be done with two wires and 2-UART MCU            01/01/70 00:00      
      120 devboards ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         How difficult or costly would it be to add one?            01/01/70 00:00      
            neither difficult nor costly            01/01/70 00:00      
         SILABs 040 has 2 uarts on it            01/01/70 00:00      
   with ds89c450 or 430            01/01/70 00:00      
      But that's a chip - not a board!            01/01/70 00:00      
         cheap boards            01/01/70 00:00      
            this is what's meant            01/01/70 00:00

                     bad example            01/01/70 00:00      
                        No - excellent example!            01/01/70 00:00

                        PC as an example            01/01/70 00:00

                                 where is your head wedged?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    Don't blame the PC for solving wrong things with USB            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       There are many things for which USB is unsuited            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          Every change since 1980 isn't for the worse            01/01/70 00:00

                                                   what about the required size of the driver?            01/01/70 00:00
