RS-232 with MAX232 -- Made Easier

PJAllen

Here are a couple of Ready-to-Go RS-232 solutions using MAX232 that I found on ebay.· With these you could have serial comm with your device AND keep your programming port (HWB, BOE, et al.) free for DEBUGging.· They're fully connectorized for easy STAMPification.· The first has SMD and the second has DIP.·

I have the first listed, and it works fine and is well made. And a bargain! Took a little while to get it from Canada, but be patient.

In the end, it seems that it's all about getting the LEDs to blink....
