Brainstem Development

I am currently doing some robotics development using the Brainstem microcontroller from Acroname. I used to talk to it using a serial cable, but then I got a new machine which didn't have a serial port, so I decided to go down the USB road, because serial cables are so 1970s. Acroname do sell a usb module that is designed specifically for the Brainstem, but I get sick of paying more for shipping and duty than the product I am buying. So I purchased a USB to TTL Serial Adapter from HVWTech, a company out of Calgary, and I actually got it hooked up and running pretty easily. I thought I would upload a few pictures incase anyone out there is thinking about doing this kind of thing and is a bit unsure how to go about it, as there is not a whole lot of info about the Brainstem on the web.
