RS232 serial Serial data is generally buffered by the operating system in order to provide the highest possible data transfer rates. This usually adds to latency and jitter. However, RS232 often provides the simplest means to connect an inexpensive microcontroller to a host computer. A simple circuit can be used to convert from a microcontroller's TTL voltage levels to the RS232 standar…
