Re: Wiring Maxbotix ultrasonic sensor to serial on cRIO?

We are doing the same thing. The serial port on the Maxbotix sensor (at least our model) is not real RS-232. It is an inverted TTL serial port. We had to make a circuit to invert the signals then pass it through a TTL-RS232 converter to get it to work.

Good luck!
