PCIMax 3000 RS232 connection

Post by luggage »

Hi,

I have set up my PCImax via the usb serial terminal successfully, but for the sake of simplicity in my hardware setup I was wondering whether I can directly connect to the RDS RS232 pins or use the soldering iron to bypass the usb<->rs232 module.

The background beeing that I want to control the PCImax from a microcontroller that does not provide USB host functionality.
Can I use the same protocal as documented in the latest linux driver? Is the RS232 level TTL or 3.3V?

Yes, and you have TTL level RS232 pins available, check the board, they are marked RX and TX.

Feel free to connect your microcontroller to those pins directly.
