ucam not syncing

[grahamc]

hello!

i recently purchased the ucam 232 from tigal.com along with the usb converter uUSB-CE5. I have connected the module up according to the data sheet for the ucam but when i try to sync it with the test software i just get 'response missing. Is ucam connected?'. I have the driver software for the usb module and it does appear as com3 when i open the test program. I am getting 5V to the board for sure. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this..?

A ucam232 requires RS232 levels, a CE5 requires TTL levels.



What are you doing to convert between the two?

Oh thanks for that. It was just sold as an accessory to the ucam232 on tigal.com. The product detail says it is a bridge converter between RS232 and USB....

I guess this must be wrong?

Yep, the last sentence gives the correct information, but refering to it as a USB - RS232 converter is certainly missleading.
