The device always uses 8 bits, 1 stopbit and no parity for its transmission.Īs you may know you cannot use TTL signals to drive an RS232 interface so I also created an RS232 board based on the MAX232 chip that converts the signals to the right level. Since the requirements for the baudrate may vary I decided to support the following baudrates using jumpers on the board: 9600, 19200, 57600. The reason for that is that I like building stuff but also that this version does not need a special driver for Windows 10 since it uses a standard Microchip device descriptor which is already supported by Windows 10. You can buy devices that convert – TTL – RS232 signals to USB for which several projects have already been published on Instructables but I decided to build one myself. I still have a desktop computer that has one RS232 interface but nowadays most computers have a USB interface instead. Update 2021: There is an improved version USB to Serial TTL V2.įor some of my PIC projects I need a serial (RS232) interface to print some messages on the screen of my computer.
