Hi Troy,

The MAX3373E is so tiny for me to work with. Do you know any other converter with bigger size? I am looking for something to attach to a bread board. It is the best if you can point out some US sellers because it took me almost 2 weeks to order from Maxim. Please help !!!!

Thank you in ...

Hi Troy,

I just have a quick question. Does LVPK162-12 expect a start bit as well? I think my tmote sends out the start bit + 8 bit data + stop bit, which adds up to 10 bits. This could explain why I sent out 10101010 and received 0 (start bit) 01010101 (eight bits data were reversed as the least ...

Hi Troy,

I am still waiting for the MAX converter to come. In the mean time, I tried to measure the output from the Tx pin of tmote and the input from the Rx pin of the LCD. They looks identical. My question is, if I use the converter, should the receiver pin have the higher amplitude since it is 5 ...

Thank you for your reply. I will try to use the converter.

In the previous post, I mentioned that the LCD printed out the same character. Now I realized that this character is the first one on the Matrix Orbital start-up screen (Look like it is the tail of the ... turtle). Anyway, it is the first ...

I am having a LK162-12 powered by 5V battery. I connected the Rx/Tx pins from the 4 pins connector to the tmote sky Tx/Rx pins. Tmote sky operates at 3V.

Then I soldered the zero ohm resistors from RS232 to TTL. Next, I sent the clear command 0x0C from the tmote sky to the LCD. The connection ...
