I've seen a few circuit designs using the MAX232 IC to convert the TTL levels into those suitable for transmission over the RS-232. I've seen a couple designs for the converter: http://www.scienceprog.com/alternatives-of-max232-in-low-budget-projects/ and http://sodoityourself.com/max232-serial-level-converter/ Would either (or both) of these be suitable? Thanks in advance.
