Anyone know of a hobby/electronics shop where I could get a 232-TTL dongle, board or kit? Even just a bare MAX232 IC would be cool. I don't want to have to drive up to you-do-it, that's the only place I can think of that's left... Take care, soup
If you cannot find anything locally, I would recommend picking up this: http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9718 It is a USB cable with a built in FTDI Chip. Very good support for Linux and Windows alike. They also make cables that can be found at www.mouser.com that do not have the 6pin .1 header, but bare tinned wires.

How "local"? Is Pawtucket, RI too far for you? Jabour Electronics might have one, but I'm not sure if that's any closer to you than you-do-it. On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 8:15 PM, Tom Misilo <tmisilo@gmail.com> wrote:

Unfortunately, eli is almost entirely computer stuff now, they used to be randomly good for surplus. Thanks to all replies! I ended up heading to you-do-it. They only had some MAX clone ICs, but good enough, worked out in the end. Take care, soup
This just came up on reddit. It's an awesome idea. http://www.pjrc.com/hub_isp/ Randall Mason On Thu, May 27, 2010 at 9:27 PM, soup <soupforare@gmail.com> wrote:
