Yes – I used a USB-BUB to hook up the serial console. Pinouts – http://bifferos.bizhat.com/pinouts/

If everything works out, and the Bifferboard is not to feeble for a decent setup with JeeMon, then I’ll look into offering a pre-flashed Bifferboard + USB stick in the shop. O at least come up with some good way to do everything yourself, without requiring a Linux desktop machine.

Wiki page too, of course – once I get to it. Lots of things to work on :)

I totally like you finding these. They sound awesome. Can you also post a rough price point, and part you used exactly, as in web site.

Because when considering options, budget matters.

I’ll probably go for a JeeNode, because then the USB port can be used for the USB stick without extra hub. I2C would be another option, but I don’t think it’d be any simpler. But there are several ways to go forward – see tomorrow’s post ;)

Interesting board! I bought one to test it after reading this blog. A Wiki page describing a setup for JeeMon might save some trouble. Do you plan on using a JeeLink (using USB port no 2) or a JeeNode (using the serial port no 2) to aquier the data from other nodes?
