Hey everyone!

I just have a question that im sure is very simple to a lot of you
all out there, but I cannot find any documentation. I need to know
how to hook up a BS2SX to a max232 or max232A chip. I think that i
have to use some caps and things but i cannot find any schematics or
diagrams or even literature telling me exactly what it is that i
have to do. If someone could tell me or show me how to hook the two
up i would really appreciate it! Thanks!!

    I prefer to use the Max233 (or equivalent), with caps built in, to save
    board space. Connect the BS2 pins directly to the 233 for Tx and Rx.

    See www.maxim-ic.com, and look for MAX232 part.
    They should have a PDF download with the details.

    Also, www.kronosrobotics.com has small circuit boards
    they can sell you which have the correct hook-up
    built-in. They can also sell you the parts
    (DB-9, capacitors) you'll need.
    See 'Components', 'Easy Modules' for kits.
    See 'Components', 'PC Boards' for bare board.
