Hello guys

I have tinycorelinux running on an HP T5300 Thin client (http://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/HpT5300/index.shtml)

I am thinking about using it to do some home automation tricks and as its internal capabilities for extensions are limited, I would probably go for an USB interface. FTDI chip seems a logical choice.

How is this extension working ?
Is it still testing/beta ?

How many out there are using it ?

Thanks for sharing your experience, especially if author is still on-board 

Best regards
