It looks like serial control has been added. I just have a couple of questions.

Is this just a software change? Or is a hardware revision pending for the device on Tindie?
There doesn't seem to be any documentation yet. Are the pins labeled on the board?
I think you said the default firmware will not enable this? Do I have to compile the firmware with option enabled?

Yes, just a software change - you will need to compile and upload the firmware as outlined in the DIY readme.

I guess I do need to beef up the documentation a bit - you'll be using 3 pins on the programming header for GND/TX/RX.

Great! I'm going to order a board right now! Very excited.
