MinitelInterface

Desinged by Ybalrid

Minitel to RS232 converter circuit (based on a MAX232 IC). Can literally be built with random stuff laying around at RED :wink:

Repository contains a KiCad project to build the board. http://pafgadget.free.fr/bidouillages/minitel/minittl.png

This is based on this circuit from paf gadget, but some filtering capacitor have been muntzed out :open_mouth: . Should be just fine... :wink:

Questions

How big is the MinitelInterface PCB?

It measures 52.1 × 27.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the MinitelInterface use?

13 parts, built around the MAX232N and L7805. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the MinitelInterface KiCad files?

From the assoRED/MinitelInterface repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is minitel_interface.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MinitelInterface design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
