I have a device that sends data (telemetry) over an RS232 serial port. The RX line is not used, this device only sends one string every second.
I need to read this data from 3 different devices, each of which has an RS232 port. The question is: can I split the TX line of the RS232 and read the data simultaneously from 3 devices, i.e. make this connection:
Could there be problems? Are buffers or anything like that necessary?
