Build your own RS232 adapter with LED indicators
After I have made simple RS232 adapter I have decided to improve it a little bit and added status LEDs of TXD and RXD lines. This adapter works with my AVR development board and should work with any TTL level UART interface. Unit is powered from target board using power pins.
The circuit:
And PCB:
After putting board in to the plastic case:
TXD and RXD lines are high level while idle – this is why LEDs are ON. During data transmission LEDs are blinking.
