Hey, I was just thinking -- I haven't been following this thread in detail but
if you're doing a new layout for this board i wonder if it would make sense to
use a small mcu like an atmega32u4 or stm32 onboard in place of the cp2102
usb-to-uart adapter, this way it could have various options for character set
conversion too. You could set direct pass-thru or conversion back and forth to
ascii using a jumper, or even have a more complex configuration screen enabled
by powering up with a button pushed or something. Just a though. 

I've been thinking about doing a board like this but the likelyhood i'll get
it done anytime soon with all the other stuff i've been meaning to do makes it
seems like a poor idea to bring it up on the mailing list.. :)
