Olimex MSP430-169LCD board

Development Boards MicroMod
1

I’m working on a 430-based datalogger and want to store the data in an SD card; the Olimex MSP430-169LCD is the only development board I’ve found with an SD card connector on it.

However, I also need a comm port for commincation with a PC. The 169 chip has UARTS, but the board does not have the physical port and connector.

Two questions:

  1. Does anyone know of a simple TTL-to-RS-232 port adaptor I can add to the Olimex board?

  2. Is there another development board that has both the SD connector and an implemented comm port?

Thanks!

Much easier.

If you really want RS232, Sparkfun has a breakout board, but it a kit.

If you want TTL to USB like the above post, you can use the FTDI breakout:

Rocko and Mark, just the devices I need … have the Olimex board coming in and will decide which way (true RS-232 or USB comm) to go when I see it.
