Hi Chaps,

Just in case you were not aware I have already produced an expansion board for the Maximite, that solves the problem of interfacing into the IDC connector.

It also has the RS232 level shifting hardware for the much anticipated Serial Comms when it arrives.

My view on such external add on boards is that where possible only implement the hardware, and leave the software to the Maximite. Creating a separate board with it's own micro narrows the flexibility of the overall package.

I agree that having such protocols I2C is a good idea.
