This RS232 shield is designed for the Arduino controller,and it can easily convert UART to RS232 interface.
This RS232 shield compatible with Arduino UNO,Arduino UNO R3,Arduino Mega 1280/2560.
The shield integrates DB9 connectors (female) that provide connection to various devices with RS232 interface.
Also the RS232 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.
