[PD] FTDI 232 /245 module

[mike2005 at acc.ocad.on.ca]

Hi Ben,

Yes, as you have said the trick is getting the ascii numbers to be 
characters. Marc Lavalee's objects are .pd_linux and I have not yet 
looked into the issues of recompiling the source for XP and OS X but it 
seems from your next message that you have; so how about compiling an 
ascii.pd and an ascii.pd_darwin for all us hardware types? We can post 
them at aid.interaccess.org etc. I want to use the FTDI 232 with AID and 
PD. converting to ascii is the only thing in my way right now.

If you do I will write up some user docs for using comport on OS X, 
which are sorely missing.

Mike
