#169014 - If it's specifically for a PC, is RS232 a good choice?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The availability of RS232 on PCs is (rapidly) diminishing - are you sure that you want to rely upon it?

If not, see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/168949 - which also gets around your 3V issues!

RS232/serial port of PC for 3 volt microcontrollers            01/01/70 00:00      
   No            01/01/70 00:00      
   Try searching for: MAX3232 or SP3232            01/01/70 00:00      
      Transistor level shifter            01/01/70 00:00      
         Availability            01/01/70 00:00      
         only if you have +-12V            01/01/70 00:00      
            For transistor based RS232            01/01/70 00:00      
               Bad idea!            01/01/70 00:00      
               why do these 'maybe' circuits keep popping up?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Few designs have suitable +/- supplies            01/01/70 00:00      
                     More to it than just voltages            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Yes of course            01/01/70 00:00      
                  because they do mostly "work" most of the time            01/01/70 00:00      
                     'mostly' is never stated            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I suspect that it's actually quite high...            01/01/70 00:00      
               If he had the supplies ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Get from other parts of India            01/01/70 00:00      
         Why would you want to use one of those?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Whats Your preference 3V RS or AT89c2051?            01/01/70 00:00      
   If it's specifically for a PC, is RS232 a good choice?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Thanks            01/01/70 00:00
