#176460 - Instead of RS232... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Neat idea!
As Michael said - it'd be worth makign a proper board of it. Bert Van Den Berg said:
Each of the prototypes needed a ... RS232 level shifters ... Rather than use any RS232 level shifters, I now just use these: 
http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/...2R-3V3.htm They give you a logic-level (3V or 5V) UART connection direct from a USB port. They can also provide power (though you'd probably need to regulate it). |
