Hi,

Where in Germany can i get a working RS232 TTL Converter.

I buyed this one at Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280558671275&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

but it works just with 5V (Usb Voltage), powered with 3,2V (CR2032) the lopback test failed.

The Pololu Deluxe Serial Adapter from Roboshop costs ~10Euro and ~30 shipping cost....

Than i have a question about Hyperterminal. I'm using Windows 7 /32Bit (x86). Under W7 there is no Hyperterminal. So i download the Hyperterminal Private Editon v7.0 from Hilgrave.

Works the CTRL+Z also under this Version?

I don't get the F3 T> Prompt. On my attached Screenshot u can see that i just got an Arrow. Is this alright?

I hope the Problem is just the wrong Voltage of the RS232/TTL Converter.
