RS232 to TTL level converter

Perhaps this is the most famous RS232 to TTL level converter. When launched by MAXIM, it become so popular that several clones acquired as the years went by. This project shows how it is possible to implement a small module to interact easily with devices which support the asynchronous serial interface (TTL levels).

IR remote control tester circuit

This is a simple and small circuit you can build in order to test infrared remote controls, coming from audio and video devices (e.g. television, DVDs, VCRs and more). You can also use it to test devices which are using the famous IrDA protocol.
