I got a cheap usb to serial cable from ebay. Buy from Cali and you get Chinese prices and US shipping speed. Most of the cheap crap in Cali is the Chinese using a middle man.
Sorry to be a PITA Tony, but do you have a link to what I should be looking for. I'm assuming a USB end to go into the USB port on my puter, then a serial cable that has the same terminal configuration as on the serial cable I bought from them, correct?
So, where do I start???

Never mind, I got one. $3.90 to my door. Now I'll have to wait until 27th - 29th for delivery. Guess I'll put it on hold and hack the cam and build the case.

There is supposed to be a way to cut off the serial end and put on a usb, but I don't know if 212 ever shared it. I'm pretty sure it was him who did it.

You can use this starter board to program the 20x2 picaaxe chip. Just the first 8 pins will be in the socket.
