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
directly.
The translation between logical level (e.g., is the bit a 1 or a 0),
TTL, and RS-232 is anything but obvious:
logical level TTL level RS-232 level
zero or idle +5v -12v
one 0v +12v
Hope this helps.

| (...) Just to make sure it wasn't a typo...so, the TTL level is "ative low"? Also. Does the Scott Edwards board have the ability to be connected to a computer? or do you need a "TTL to RS232 converter"? (29 years ago, 22-May-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
