RS232 Shield - Raspberry Pi  (Sparkfun DEV-12827)

The Raspberry Pi is a fantastic development board, it is known, but wouldn't it be great to attach an RS232 port directly connected to your RPi, look no further than this RS232 shield. 

The RS232 serial port used to be the standard connection for most peripheral ports on PCs, but now the port is primarily used on industrial equipment and automation prototyping, with the RS232 Shield and its DB9 connector, you can now easily access those elements straight from your Raspberry Pi.
