OT - Max232

Of topic but still relevant.

I've seen a circuit using the Max232 and brings all four lines (TX, rx, cts,
& ???) from a standard 9 pin d-sub to a 5 or 6 pint post connector for easy
bread boarding. No the problem, I cannot find it. Anybody know a site
where that is located.

    Ashley Roll make one version - I saw it on <www.piclist.com> . I'm sure
    I've also seen others - somewhere. I've even made a version myself - but
    goofed up and used the wrong sex of connector (male instead of female) -
    those boards are now scrap.

    I have been working on a prototyping board for Stamps and other
    processors -- I included a place for a DB9, but did not lay it out for a
    dedicated MAX232 chip in order to leave more prototyping space. Does anyone
    think this might be something cool to include?

    I'd personally use a MAX235, then you can support all the RS232 lines. Only
    problem is that the MAX235 is a big chip (24pins), but it does not require
    any external components (except the decoupling cap across Vdd and Vss).

    I actually did a design on a prototype board for 24-pin Stamp/BasicX
    processors and decided against the MAX232, but did leave room for the
    DB-9 as suggested. I also included a reset switch and a regulated power
    supply - to keep it all in one place. I did a fair bit of research and
    did not see any requests for a MAX232, but being a prototype board gives
    the flexibility for the user to add it at their convenience.

    The boards can be seen at http://www.projectx.com and from there, select
    "Project X Kits", and than "Proto-24 Board" or on eBay at

    Interesting -- mine is similar in design but a bit more compact with fewer
    features. Damn -- it sure is cold at your house!

    Hi Rodent -

    Not only cool but essential. To save space, consider using a MAX233
    with caps built in. Instead of using a DB9 on the board, a simple
    stereo jack and cable sheath will provide necessary connections (2,3,5)
    for Tx, Rx, Common. CCS sells a PIC prototyping board with two such
    jacks on the board, and a cable with a stereo jack on one end and a DB9
    Female on the other.

    Just had a look at the datasheet (can email it to you off list if you need
    it). The 235 seems to be 24pin wide DIP only (ie - same as a BS2).
