New and Tested MAX232 Based RS232 unit. Uses proper electrolitic caps and will work with ATMEL AVR, PIC. Modules are tested with an AVR at 9600 and 115200 baud before packaging. Will work at other speeds, the speed is dependant on your application, the uC in use and the settings in hyperterminal etc. This unit buffers and converts the signals to RS232 levels suitable for computer. Save lots of breadboard room and don't worry about caps wrongly inserted or loose pins. This unit will plug in directly to your breadboard with 4 x 0.1" header pins, you just hook up the 5V supply to it and ground, then connect the RX and TX lines respectively to your uC or other device.

Allows your microcontroller or other serial devices to communicate with your computer using a standard serial cable. Allows bidirectional communication or just one way if required. Has 4 pins that allow easy insertion into any breadboard. The unit itself could be directly inserted to your serial port if space allowed this though its recommended that you use a straight through 9 pin serial extension lead to make it easier. You can always make up your own lead as only a maximum of 3 wires are required for the PC serial cable. That being Ground, RX (receive) and TX (transmit). Comes with printed schematic and hookup instructions. Made in Australia.
