Evening all,
Got brave and decided to experiment...and answered my own question below...

Does this mean that pins 7 and 8 are a TTL serial RX/TX pair that
function the same as J2...but without going thru the Sipex TTL-to-RS232
converter? That would be a score for those of us who want to use these
things with Arduinos.
And the answer is sort of.
What I didn't understand in the original message is that "pins 7 and 8
are 3.3V TTL level" meant that pins 7 and 8 are connected together.
So...
Pin 7 and 8 are connected together...and are TTL serial out.
Pin 3 and 4 are connected together...and are TTL serial in.
My little TTL-to-serial adapter is wired RX to pin 7, ground to pin 5,
TX to pin 3.
There is a catch! If you've got the jumper on J2 from using a real
RS-232 port...the TTL serial input won't accept commands. You've got to
remove the jumper.
This makes me happy - those of us who want to use Arduinos now don't
need to mess with going TTL to RS232 serial...can go direct TTL to TTL.
thanks much,
ben
