Besides the frequency set/read command, what else might be useful in this simple system?
Note that it might be possible to do the task with the existing PIC used on the 8.X boards, bit-banging the serial port. The I/O would use the pins now used for the DIP switch. I'm not sure I advocate this method, but it is a possibility.
