Re: innovation first breaker panel
It has two serial port interfaces, but only one serial device.
The Standard DB-9 port and the PWM port TX, RX, GND.

Of course IFI says you shouldn't use the PWM connector. They didn't say you can't however.

The serial port is used to send info about which breakers are tripped to the RC. The default MPLab code already has support for that data.
