Isolated RS232C for PIC16F84


Posted on Mar 30, 2013

Another method that helps program development besides a dot LED as the output device is a serial bit. With a serial transmission to a terminal emulator program, developer may then test program running easier than a dot LED. One of my circuit uses PIC16F84 having one bit for sending ascii character with `printf` function. The PIC16F84 provides a very convenient way of connecting serial data to terminal. We may use a 1K resistor connects RB1, say to RxD pin of COM1 directly. As shown above diagram, my PIC circuit uses a transformerless DC supply. Direct connection is then not recommended for safety. The ground voltage difference between two circuits may destroy the RS232 converter chips.
