Level Shifted!
June 18, 2007
So, that RS232 to Eaton Leonard (photo gallery retired) level shifter thing I’ve been working on? Well, it wasn’t working. I took a bit of a break from it to get some other stuff done, and tonight I started back in on it. I’m fairly certain I found the problem, and hopefully that’ll be tested tomorrow.
If so, I might have my first for-pay electronics job. Yay!
(This would have been done loads sooner if I had the test environment at home, or a matching board for testing, or something. But, I didn’t, so it was a little more complicated. I don’t mean to blame anyone for this, it’s just the reality of working with one small piece of a puzzle and needing to take it to the customer’s site to test it.)
Somehow I read that as ‘RS232 Eaton Leotard’ and wondered if you were doing something with fiber optics and LEDs and clothes.
Carry on, carry on!
Haha, no. This is just a little bit of the unintelligent bits which make a tubing bender go.
So you’re doing this on a part time basis?
Naw, just a hobby.
