    I bought the following unit. Total cost. $25.12. including shipping and tax. Tested with VSA. Works perfect. Even windows went out and found the correct driver. I even downloaded the driver and windows said best driver already loaded.

    That's the same one that Lynxmotion sells for $29 and guarantees will work with their serial products. If you're needing to run your serial connection over a long distance I picked one of these up last year and it works perfectly. http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=1871

    That is good idea. The board can be out nearer the props. Oh and Im posted a message to you on the VSA thread. I was wrong on the ssc32 multi board support with VSA. But I did find a 24 servo board that seems to allow for any address up to 254 and it uses direct USB. I wonder if anyone has used this board.

    VSA has a pololu servo option, so I am guessing this one would allow for multiples of 24. Just not sure if anyone has used one.
