Hello!

I've got a Parallax 433 MHz RF Transmitter, and I'm looking to connect it to the PC serial port with a MAX232 line driver as mentioned on the product page.

Can anyone explain/illustrate how to perform this connection, what parts I'll need to do it (including the specific line driver), and where I can get said parts easily?

Thanks in advance.

    See the MAX232 data sheet. The MAX202 would be better, it uses smaller (100nF) capacitors).

    Or, a MAX233 uses no capacitors.
