Hi all,

I'm currently drawing symbols for PICAXE microcontrollers
(http://www.picaxe.com/), and I can't make up my mind where the serial
in/out pins should go (I keep moving them around). I've read the style
guide which indicates in on the left and out on the right, but to my
mind it would make more sense for these to be together on the same
side of the device.

My reasoning being that the net for each will often travel in the same
direction to serial in/out on another device/connector. Having them
together in this instance would clearly produce a neater schematic.

I can't find any other devices in the library (though I'm sure they're
there) that have serial in/out so can't get any hints from there.

I'd appreciate your opinions, thanks.
