Hello there, i just finished my first real netduino project. It's a simple serial port monitor using a 4DSystems LCD for the UI. It can use both the UART for the display and RS232 for data at the same time. I made a very small change in the firmware to allow for this (normally one is occupied for deploy/debug, you can send but not receive reliably). If anyone needs them, i want to post the 4DSystems library (supporting PICASO & GOLDELOX SPE2 & VISI GENIE protocol) as well as the UI engine (it's not quite finished yet).

I fixed some bugs, design and functions.
It now really behaves like a Terminal program on PC and you can enter all characters to send commands to devices.
I tested my new https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9555 (ODB2 Interface) with it and it works perfect.
I added a MAX323 breakout in between wich i want to integrate into the main monitor and make it toggable.
You can also get power (only 5V for now) from RTS and DTR to power small interfaces (in this case the MAX323 and the UDB2 Board (it will be powered by the car once its connected though)).
It is quiet handy, I added a 9V Battery source and now i can easily move the whole setup into my car tomorrow to test functions for my ODB2 tool
