Another confirmation that the circuit bigadv posted using the MikroElectonika USB UART (MIKROE-483) works as advertised. After buying the interface (15.94 mouser charged me shipping), a 25ft 3.5mm audio cable (5.49 on mono price), stereo jacks (3.19 +tax), perf board (3.76 +tax), and enclosure (3.99 +tax) (had resistor, usb cable, and tools on hand) it cost me about $34, so I saved around $20 not to bad of a savings, and a fun little project as well. By the way, I was thinking the interface was Female USB Type A, BUT it is actually Female USB Mini B. I did not remove the jumper (forgot) so I was running it at 5v, will try it without at a later date. Ok I gave in and went ahead and tried it with the jumper removed and it works, not sure if removing the jumper is a critical step or not, as far as I can tell it wont matter, but dont take my word for it, as Im not an expert on this thing.
