there is big confuson about this cable...i am sure others have had good experience with this schematic....but i have had no success....
btw, there is excellent documentation for Max232 (TTL-CMOS/RS232 converter) on
www.maxim-ic.com and thats the heart of the whole exercise...in that only the values of capacitors are different but they are for blocking/bypassing any ac component in the circuit...so a value of 1 micro or 10 micro doesnt matter really...still its not working...
any spark of genius anyone has ...most welcom !!!!
