Great design, easy to assemble simple clear document action, worked first time. Only improvement I would like would be to be able to set the baud rate from the setup screen. This is probably trivial to do, I just need to get to grips with the code - not my strongest skill 😊

Excellent design, very high fun factor

For VGA Serial Terminal Kit for RC2014

This module is a game changer. Adding video and keyboard support to my RC2014 has allowed it to become its own independent computer. Assembly was very straightforward, with all components identified and clearly oriented in the provided assembly diagram. All components were well packaged and accounted for. Worked perfectly after assembly and very neat to have a computer that beeps when you turn it on.

The trickiest part was finding a compatible USB keyboard. I actually tried four different models -- two generic Amazon.com ones didn't work at all. Then I tried an OEM Dell keyboard (chiclet-style) from 2018, which worked but had an annoying re-typing kind of problem when one key was released while another was pressed (causing the first key to fire twice). Finally, another OEM Dell keyboard from 2015 (non-chiclet-style) worked flawlessly.

Brilliant card

For VGA Serial Terminal Kit for RC2014

Bought this card, assembled it and inserted into rc2014.
Work nearly flawless, may be some interference on the screen depending on card position and proximity to screen.
I prefer this module more than the usb/hdmi raspberry pi card, due to ease of use, no need for external power and more retro look. I ordered the card with German keyboard driver, this work well with my Norwegian keyboard.
