[GreenKeys] John Nagle's USB <-> 60 mA loop board - Update

[info at drukknop.nl]

of course i immediately downloaded the utility to configure some cp2102 
boards i have. As the Siemens t100B we have has already a current loop 
psu build in, e could be up and running in no time. i was fiddling with 
a arduino, bitbanging and converting at the sam time. of course a 
esp8266 or esp32 would do the trick as well

> The particular CP2102 breakout board used in John's design has a configuration program that allows you to select a baud rate for incoming data from the USB port to be converted to just about any baud rate you desire on the serial output side. And the baud rate you choose works in the other direction as well, so serial input at 45 baud (if that's what you configured) is converted to the standard rate you modified during configuration.  By convention I'd suggest everyone choose the baud rate John suggests, 600 baud converted to 45 baud.  As John notes in his documentation that baud rate never seemed to be used anyway.

I was using John's BaudotRSS program to do this.  Much easier to use this small device versus a big loop supply and serial to loop adapter.
