It was a few hundred $$, and had no serial output. So I had to hack the LCD display lines -pretty intense- and the keypad to make my SX control it.

Do a search online and you'll turn up all sorts of circuits and ready-to-purchase boards. Cheaper than a laser finder (but a wholly other capability and concept).
