I however do not - otherwise the Nanode would be selling for $50 rather than $39.95.<br /><br />The Nanode adaptor has been custom made and has a custom pin-out to suit the Nanode and it supports the auto reset function - unlike the device you have found. It also comes with a 1m A-F USB cable.<br /><br />A custom run of boards does not come cheap and their are layout and tooling charges to meet.<br /><br />If you are prepared to put money up front,as I did, and take the risk on a minimum order quantity of 500 pieces, then I will be happy to let you dictate my pricing policy.<br /><br />If I sold at $2.95, I would be selling at a large loss, as there are shipping, and UK import duties of 20% to be paid.<br /><br />In the meantime - happy hunting for a suitable USB adaptor.Ken Boakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168707285621954181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16736699.post-67760162187029427042011-11-02T14:02:23.216+00:002011-11-02T14:02:23.216+00:00That's very expensive compared to ebay prices ...That's very expensive compared to ebay prices (this one for 3USD) for a a device which has the same chipset:<br /><br />http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-USB-TTL-Converter-Module-buildin-in-CP2102-/170714239887?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf5c938f<br /><br />How come you have such a difference?zoobabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896135106354266238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16736699.post-22903328188392386852011-11-01T08:37:03.204+00:002011-11-01T08:37:03.204+00:00“As for the future, your task is not to foresee it...“As for the future, your task is not to foresee it, but to enable it.” ---Antoine de Saint-Exupery<br /><br /> You are most definitely succeeding at such a task.Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632888198107510060noreply@blogger.com
