Figure 1: MAX3232 additional board
How to connect the board?
The additional board can be easily connected to a microcontroller via a 1x6 connector CN1. The CN2 connector is used
to establish connection with an RS-232 device.
How to use the board?
The microcontroller sends/receives data to/from the additional board via serial UART communication. The board rst
converts data in order to adjust it to the RS-232 standard, then sends it to the RS-232 device.
