Seems there are plenty of questions relating going in the opposite direction, but I couldn't find anything that really told me if I could do this..
I have one of these https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/serial-converters-extenders/6877806/ for connecting to RS232 devices and I have a need to connect to a device using a USB-TTL adaptor (one of these https://www.dimensionengineering.com/products/sabertooth2x60)
It seems that the Sabertooth only uses RX, TX and GND (pins 2,3, and 5) and I don't need any of the other wires. I'm not 100% sure on what voltage sits on pins 2 and 3 of an RS232 connector - I assume if it were more than 5v then that wouldn't be ideal for TTL!
Can anyone give me a pointer as to whether this will work or not? I don't have a reason to not buy a specific TTL adaptor, apart from I'd rather not do it if I don't have to!
Thanks in advance
