Go to Post I am a mentor now and I would be more proud of a National Chairmans Award which acknowledges my many years of service to the team and the community rather than a National Championship which acknowledges one great robot I helped build. - The Lucas [more]

Re: Question about converting RS232 to TTL

gk20,

Looking at the data sheets and documentation for the devices specified, I think the MAX3232 board should work. The connections (based on my interpertation of the data sheets) will be as follows:

Connect the following 3 pins/wires together
- Garmin Wire #2 (red) vin
- MAX3232 3V-5.5V
- Cortex +5V

Connect the following 4 pins/wires together
- Garmin Wire #3 (blk) ground
- Garmin Wire #5 (blk) ground
- MAX3232 GND
- Cortex GROUND

Connect the following wire/pin pairs
- Garmin Wire #4 (wht) TXD (transmit data) to MAX R1IN
- Garmin Wire #6 (grn) RCV (receive data) to MAX T1OUT
- Cortex Data In (Rx) to MAX R1OUT
- Cortex Data Out (Tx) to MAX T1IN

The 5V from the Cortex will power both the MAX and the Garmin IO (requires an external power source)

Try to verify this wiring before powering the devices as I may be in error. The following locations are where I found the various spec sheets.
