Micro Maestro TTL at 3.3V

:slight_smile:

Any information on whether or not this wonderful little board is 3.3V (serial communication only) friendly?

Hi Mitch, I noticed the theme even though I am not Ben :slight_smile:

Unfortunately, the Maestro’s RX and RST lines (the only digital inputs on the board) need a signal of at least 0.8 times VCC, which is normally 5V. So it will probably not work with a 3.3V signal.

Note that the RST (reset) line of the Micro Maestro is optional; you don’t need to to connect it. Also, it has a pull-up resistor so you would never need to drive it to 5 V.
