Yes, pdurrant is right, Mini, Touch and Glo all use infrared touch; so one side emits the infrared light and the other one receives it. Let us know how it went with the serial access! I think you will need an adapter to use 1.8v signals (or maybe 3.3v), you surely can't directly connect those pads to the serial port of a pc or you'll fry the board.
