I'm just about to build one of those; looks like the cost will be more like C$40.00 including 9 extra PCBs.

As to RS-232, it can provide TTL or 0-3.3V 'pseudo-RS-232' which usually works in my experience, but if you need 'true' RS-232 there are tiny TTL<>RS-232 adapters on eBay for < $2.00

I believe Rich Cini built one; maybe he can add something
