I am also using Matrix Orbital. The USB option sounds good since you
could put a hub and have no expanability problems. The one advantage of
serial is distance. With lower speeds you could even hit 50 meters. Don.

LCD is Liquid Crystal Display, or a small display. The one that TS
sells is 2x24 characters. It is not a serial interface, but digital, so
eats up DIO, as does the keypad. I would recommend buying one of the
serial interface LCDs with keypad interface, then you only take up one
serial port for both the keypad and LCD. The TS LCD and keypad use up
ALL of the DIO except for the TS-XDIO.
I note that there are a multitude of usb based LCDs available. I'm using the ones from matrix orbital.

Thank you for reply.
With AI do you mean Analogic Interface, or what other?
I think 29 DIO in 7260 would be enough for my interest.
For serial port, if they are managed in std linux I think I would not
have problems. I'm working with them :S
About wireless it would be very interesting! The robot is an
autonomous rover and a wireless connection would be very interesting
for telemetry :)
Another question: with LCD do you mean also char serial LCD?
And last: Do you think that with DIO I can be able to read square
signal encoder data. I'm searching the way to do it with Microchip PIC
and I noticed that the only way is using a square decoder/counter,
solution that I don't love a lot....
Thank you again
