As suggested in the title of this post, I am very new to electronics in general but I am very eager to learn
With that said, my question is this:
I am trying to interface a pc to another device via serial connection (sounds easy enough). WRONG!! I hit a small snag when i found out the device I'm trying to connect to my pc transmits serial in a very strange way (at least I think it’s strange). See below:
Questionable Device Serial Protocol
11 Bits and a nine (9) bit byte
Tx - 100mA @ 4V
Rx - 15mA @ 1V
As I stated before, I am a complete newbie with this stuff but it would appear some type of conversion needs to be made to make this interfacable with an RS232 port on my pc.
Any advice would be a great help. And I hate to ask this but please dumb down your answer so a regular Joe can understand![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
