I certainly have one, but, I'd prefer the USB serial adapter, of course. I found one at -
http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/203...reg1v8-we.html and I suppose it's good enough?

The non-soldering method is needed because many people said they did not want to solder. Conductive paint is somewhat expensive, but it will last a long time when used as a solder replacement.

I can solder, of course. Your idea seems cool, and the easily obtainable ingredients are certainly easily available unlike several other cases..
When do you plan on finishing the documentations?

If you could provide me the special connector for K3 ALONG with the USB serial cable, I'd be delighted. On the other hand, if you can't provide both of them, and your "simple-to-make" method works, I'd rather not pay for two shippings and would make the connector myself (and order the serial cable from digikey).
I live in India. New Delhi. Would be happy to provide all information via PM if wanted.
