Introduction

his RS232 Shield For Arduino is designed for the Arduino controller,and it can easily convert UART to RS232 interface.

The RS232 shield integrates DB9 connectors (female) that provide connection to various devices with RS232 interface. Also the RS232 shield headers will facilitate your connections and commissioning. It provides the welding areas to make full use of extra space on it, which is highly convenient for prototyping. It provides a run / program mode switch. When switched OFF, you'll be able to programme the Arduino controller; When switched ON, you can use the shield normally. Gold immersion PCB. Long pins on the back that are compatible with most Arduino controllers such as arduino Uno, arduino Mega, Leonardo.

Sample Code

# This sample codes is for testing the RS232 shiled. # Editor : YouYou # Date : 2013.9.25 # Ver : 0.1 # Product: RS232 shield # SKU : DFR0259 */ int led = 13; //define the LED pin void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); //init serial pinMode(led,OUTPUT); } void loop() { int temp; //serial data temporary cache if(Serial.available()) //if serial receives data { temp=Serial.read(); //store the received data temporarily if(temp=='V'){ digitalWrite(led,1-digitalRead(led)); //change the LED statu if receiving the char "V". Serial.println("OK"); //reply OK to show that the char "V" has been received and the LED statu also has been changed } } }

Expected Results

Result

Open the Serial debugger, find the COM related with USB-RS232, send a char "V", then the LED statu will be changed and it will reply "OK".
