[Coco] Ebay Arduino Uno

[rietveld rietveld]

Hi

I bought an Uno from EBAY a month or so ago. After both hardware and software glitches I am glad to report that it is working as intended
My only real gripe is with the length of the serial cable attached to the TTL board. It is way to short for my setup. But this is definitely not a deal breaker as the cable is easy to extend.
‎The Arduino is not comparable to the SDC, it's actually not even close to it, but it does fit a need. I have the Arduino attached to both my coco1 and TDP100 via a RS232 switcher.   I can save and load (serve) files to either coco from the included micro SD card. The unit is intended to be powered by a USB charging cable but I actually got around this by using a portable power bank from the dollar store. The entire unit, including the powerbank, fits neatly inside a spare rompak case I printed. This makes the Arduino Uno a real stand alone server.
