Need help Serial to Parallel conversion

[scadabg]

Thanks Scadabg but from where do i get it.

cheers

You can get a kit or assembled version from microcontroller-bg.com or assembled version

@ Soeren, I have posted the details earlier of the voltage levels that i get when the transmitter is ideal,
what do you suggest? does the data seems ok... should i proceed.

hey thanks Pratheek,

I think you do not need a MAX 232 IC between the USB to serial converter you are using and your microcontroller. I guess the USB to serial converter itself gives you +0 and +5 V outputs.

Could you post a picture of the converter you are using.

As i said earlier the output of the USB2Serial converter is hardly 0.3 volts when checked with a digital multimeter.
Secondly I am using a ready made USB2Serial converter so does a picture help? if yes please let me know will post the picture and the details.

You can't see dynamic signals above 5..10Hz on a DVM, it's like trying to measure your pulse with a thermometer (well, sort of at least).

Either find someone who can help you with measuring it with an oscilloscope, or make a divider/level translator feeding a counter like 4040 and see if some of the higher order output pins will reveal a change between 0V and Vdd (B+).
