This is a small handy module for rapid prototyping projects requiring RS232/PC interface to robotics and microcontroller based projects using 3.3V or 5V TTL logic. This module converts signals between RS232 voltage levels and TTL voltage levels.
Features:
- High-Speed Communication: Supports data transfer speeds up to 115kbps or higher in short bursts for quick, reliable communication.
- SMD MAX3232 Device: Built-in MAX3232 device offers high-speed, efficient signal conversion between RS232 and TTL logic levels.
- Selectable Signal Levels: Allows selection of +3.3V or +5V TTL signal levels via a header for easy adaptation to different systems.
- Status LED (D1): Indicates the operational status of the module for convenient monitoring.
- Microcontroller Compatibility: Works with a wide range of microcontrollers like Microchip PIC, Atmel AVR, STM32, Renesas MCU, NXP MCU, and more.
- Versatile Applications: Used in various fields such as radio modification, XBOX360 flash, vehicle detection, phone flash, GPS, and hard disk repair.
- Easy Integration: Designed for simple use with PCs, laptops, and UART-compatible microcontrollers.
