OK, I haven't breadboarded this myself, but here's A circuit that looks like it will do the 3 to 5 V conversion (and back interestingly enough...just check if the driving volt level has enough juice to drive the LED).
Its unidirectional, remember this so two can implement a UART TX and RX, however there are some hardware protocols that require line bidirectionality that I can't easily figure out how to do. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-e7tP5_dQ1u4/WJLoQF-lHdI/AAAAAAAAAEo/-NRZfWX9bCsVpmLUvhlBFuQVu3qPLYhsQCLcB/s1600/PS2532-Example.jpg> On Tuesday, November 8, 2016 at 7:39:33 AM UTC-7, mzimmers wrote: > > Hi, all - I thought I posted something about this last week, but a search > doesn't turn it up, so here goes again. > > I'm working through Molloy's book, and trying to build the opto-coupler > circuit in chapter 6.
