Translate between RS232 and logic-level TX/RX signals with this assembled Shifter board. It draws power from the target application, using that supply to establish the logic-side level. Transmit and receive indicators provide activity feedback, and connection pads allow installing a four-pin header or individual wires for a serial communication prototype.
