Here's a simple program that can capture the P2's VGA screen buffer over USB serial connection.
runs at 3 MBaud so takes about a second to capture and display the screen.
Maybe this is useful if you don't want to connect a monitor to P2, but want to see what P2 is outputting.
There is just a bit of code and one cog on the P2 side to make it work.
If you want to try it, just load up the example .spin file and then run the .exe.

Also made it capture continuously so I can see it spin...
Check continuous and it'll keep refreshing...
Note: Some people have mentioned problems at 3 MBaud, but that's what I'm using here and haven't had any problems...
This will be essentially half-duplex, as it is P2 -> PC, which will be easier than Duplex.
It's the FTDI chip on P123-A9 board...
