[sdiy] Serial->MIDI

[ASSI]

Hello list,

my search for a programmable touch-screen thingy has finally come to an 
end with the aquisition of a Casio PV-S460. The touchscreen is better 
than I thought and easily operated without the stylus, the development 
system is available for free and the resolution of 160x160 (low by PDA 
standards, but with EL backlight) is just perfect for the larger 
viewing distance I plan to use it at. The only thing I'm still missing 
is a serial->MIDI converter so I can control my synths with it and of 
course I'll have to write some applications.

So if anyone has an idea for a converter box that can be used without 
the need for complicated driver software, DIY or otherwise, please let 
me know. At least initially I'll have no need for MIDI sync or good 
timing, I plan to use this for "drawing" envelopes, XY control of two 
MIDI CC, virtual drawbars and recall of setups across multiple synths.


Achim.
