#82057 - Not all UARTs are RS-232!
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Should we ask Craig to change all the words "UART" on the forum to the "RS232C protocol" or more precisely to TIA/EIA-232-F or to ITU-T V.24, V.28 and ISO/IEC 2110(:-)?


No, because a UART doesn't necessarily have to conform to those standards!

232 is more than just a UART -- it's about voltage signalling levels, addition lines for handshaking, etc etc.

The UART is the low-level component. Note that the first letter stands for "Universal," as in, "can be applied in many many many situations" :)
