opto max232

Hi all member!

Now, I want to communication with PC by Serial Port, NOT USE MAX232.
Has anybody any idea?
Could anybody share experience...? Thanks!
:idea:
 

serout n9600 max232

So Design your own converter (rs232/TTL). Or use optocoupler.
 

Hi!
I want to program for TxD,RxD pins throught opto-coupler (not used MAX232).
What things i've to do, pls help me!?!
 

Some transistors + resistors could do the same... Google it.

Just a thought, have you ever tried to help anyone else or always just "I want"
 

Have you checked the ELM web site. They have a nice design. Also ATMEL got some good design on their programming tools.
Check both of them.
 

Hi!

Thanks for your help!

I'm studying this solution...!

Just fine as long as your micro can accept more than 5V of voltages.
 

It depends that what type of function is required? I have used transistors not max in my atmel programmer.

Now this is something different.
 

We can certainly use a pair of transistors for the purpose of level changing, but if you need isolation then use some opto as well. I have used these circuits in a number of products.
 

I have done many projects, communicating with PC from a PIC direct with only a 22K resistor in the TX line and a 1K in the RX line with success, one thing to remember is, a PC send and receive in reverse polarity "Driven Inverted",

This may work for most of today's PC. For some old ones, it still required high threadhold...

I used it on an old XT using QBasic programming, with success, RS232 is RS232 is RS232, a pity new PC's come without RS232, anybody out there still using XT or older PC's? I don't think so.

what is the other end of rs232..??
i think you must have to connect the voltage converter (which will make the data compatible for both the side.)..
 

Here is the software for a gate control system that is running now for two years where the PIC communicate with a PC and the I/O is connected to the RS232 port of the PC with only a 22K and a 1K current limiting resistors in the I/O lines, my apologies for the comments in Afrikaans but if someone is interested I will translate and post it.
