My take: USB would be nice to have, but if it s going to be that much trouble, I can live with RS-232. The key is to not make the RS-232 interface too complex

Yes - I noticed that too. On the other hand, the BasicAtom Pro doesn t have analogue outputs either - a high-quality ADC is used with a serial interface.
