    tapping into RS232

    Odd project:

    I have two devices that speak to each other via RS232. I don't know any of the settings, but I think I can guess, ar do a trial and error until I find the baud rate.

    I want to...

    Skimask,

    You said you built a similar thing with LEDs. Would you happen to have the schematic?

    Peterdeco1,

    That's a very nice offer, but I can just order a few if I go that route. They are certainly cheaper than the other MOSFETS suggested.

    Honetsly, I am beginning to think that MOSFETS...

    Not sure about the 14C40, but the ISL9V5036, costs almost $4, so 56 of them would be too costly. The Motorola is $2.50, still too much. I'm trying to make this thing for $50-$70.

    It may not be...

    Thanks for all of the info so far.

    Can someone suggest a logic-level MOSFET that they might use for this type of project?

    Thanks,

    Forgive me for asking this stupid question, but wouldn't that mean that each '154 would be the same as the others: if output 3 is HIGH on one then it is HIGH on the others?

    What about using a 1-wire network to address each magnet seperately? Maybe that's much more costly. I have no experience with 1 wire networks.

    I understand the 1 of 16 decoder, but I'm lost, those decoders have 4 inputs. Two '154 ICs would require 8 pins from the PIC I'm guessing the 4bit counter resolves this, but I'm not clear how.
