I did this presentation for BayCon 2022 Virtual event just recently on why we need to start looking at Ethernet to replace RS232.

I have queued up the YouTube video to start at the beginning of my presentation.

    Nice presentation Mike.

    My first foray into ethernet programming was my TeensyMaestro a year and a half ago. Having never coded even one line of ethernet code, I was able to get my project working very quickly. I have done a fair amount of RS-232 programming, and even now, it takes a ridiculous amount of time and energy to get serial communications working properly.

    The day will come (soon, I hope) where we all laugh at how we had to do things before ethernet connectivity was a thing...

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
