(...) There are two types of serial voltages: TTL level and RS-232 level. The HB's serial interface board converts from TTL to RS-232 for communicating with the host computer. The Scott Edwards board accepts TTL levels, so an HB pin can drive it (...) (29 years ago, 22-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
