Signing UpStep 1Step 1: One direction - USB to RS232.
Idea is to be able to press a Key on a USB based Mac, and have the Key's character displayed on a Windows PC.
How it works:
When the USBMOD2 has data in it's Receive Buffer, it sends /RXF low to tell the microcontroller there is data available to read.
The Microcontroller then has to send /RD low in order for the first byte of that data to be presented on the bus so it can be read. When /RD is sent high, if data is in the buffer, the next byte will be made available and presented on the bus at the next high to low transistion of /RD.
The Software:
To test, make sure you have the FTDI USB extension installed on your Mac. Use a Datacoms program like Clarisworks and select the USB port in the program's prefs. On the Windows side, use Hyperterminal, set to 9600,8,N,1.
