Great Product

Easy to use and works really well!

Good product worked great once I figured it out.

I wish there were actual jumpers on the board to change the dte/dce mode. Notes:

  1. The default mode(DCE) outputs signal on pin 2.

  2. Accord to my Salae logic analyizer the signal is inverted.

Nice interface

I will buy others.
