I've followed that thread as far as getting a real-time clock and RS232 board but whereas that writer seems to be using Stellarmate, I am having a play with AstroBerry which is free and seems to offer much the same functionality.
I've got the clock going and the system time set (some mods to the config.txt file) but not the RS232 - yet. I'm still figuring out the pinout on the R232 board and the connections to the GPIO. The serial board has a male 8-pin connector with 2 banks of 4 pins. Both banks are marked VCC TX RX GND - i.e. identical on both sets of pins. I'm not sure how I should be connecting this - trial and error I suppose.
