Level Shifter

Build your own TTL/RS232 or TTL/USB interface

• TTL/RS232 - Building a Custom Serial Interface
• TTL/USB - Use a cheap phone sync cable with the serial port

Buy a TTL/RS232 or TTL/USB interface

The cheapest TTL/RS232 converter uses a MAX232 with two serial channels for standard TTL 3V input.	The cheapest TTL/USB converter uses a chip by FTDI (the same chip is used in the SCON-KIT )
This board is made by Futurelec, however the order is shipped from Thailand so it takes 2-3 weeks to get it.	This cable is made by FTDI, but the pinout at the connector end would need to be reassigned
