A Compact RS232 Breakout for Your Next Project
We have a new serial connection breakout available this week, featuring a DE9 connector and ST3222 RS232 driver/transceiver.
Hello everyone! Welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics. We have a smaller week this week, but we are bringing you an incredibly handy, new serial connection breakout featuring a DE9 connector and ST3222 driver/transceiver from STMicroelectronics. Our updated RS232 Breakout handles the task of voltage-level shifting, converting your microcontroller's 3.3V logic signals into the +/- 5V (or higher) signals required by RS232, and vice-versa. Ready to take a closer look?
$9.95
The SparkFun RS232 Breakout is a simple and essential utility board for interfacing modern electronics with legacy RS232 serial devices. If you've ever needed to connect your 3.3V microcontroller to an older computer, industrial machine, GPS module, or any other device that uses a DE9 (often called DB9) connector, this board is the solution. It perfectly bridges the gap between low-voltage TTL logic and the higher-voltage RS232 standard.
