[Gmecm] Virtual Com Port VPW Board

Yes, I'm sure I'll make boards available as a DIY kit at some point. Right
now I'm using the 0402 components which are fine for me, but others would
probably have a hard time without some practice. Also using SSOP package for
USB/serial converter, so solder wick will be needed regardless. I might
upsize the 0402 stuff a little.

Best regards,
Craig Moates?

Looking very good!

Are you planning to sell boards for it?  Do you think the average guy will
be able to solder the components?
