Thanks. I did get data sheets for these from Maplin some time ago, but
haven't done anything else with them yet. I have not interfaced to the
serial port before, so I was worried about what pin to connect what
signal to. Is there a book/web site to learn more about serial
interfacing? I have done it with kits such as the quasar temperature
sensor, but nothing from scratch.
