mackrackit's ConnectOne example code

Yes, if you run the PIC at 5V and the ConnectOne module at 3.3V you will need to do level conversion in both directions.

My shields have been delayed. I had a bout of atrial fibrillation resulting in a brief (4 day) hospitalization but some not so brief medical bills which have blown holes in my budget. All my projects have been set aside for the time being.

The Spark Fun level shifter mentioned above should do what you need. (The AN213 link also shows a few different methods.) You need to deal with TX, RX & RESET. Outputs from the module (TX) need to be shifted up to 5V for input to the PIC, inputs to the module (RX, RESET) need to be shifted down to 3.3V.

Speedy recovery, take it easy in meantime.

I'm fine. I've had Congestive Heart Failure for about 9 years and all is under control by medication. My primary care doc even commented that I have the vital signs of a 20 year old (seems a shame to waste them on a 70 year old). And, tests in the hospital confirmed that my heart is still normal in size and pumping efficiency (ejection fraction) with no water around it.

I just got caught in a couple of bureaucratic snafus not of my own making. I get my meds from the Veterans Administration. I was moving and the VA refused to accept my change of address over the phone, telling me I had to come, in person, with a piece of mail in-hand that I received at the new address. Simultaneously, my cardiologist for the past 9 years (outside the VA) was forced to close his practice by a non-compete lawsuit brought by the very hospital I ended up in which had recently bought the group practice he had been a member of but chose to leave after the sale. I could not reach him to get a prescription so I ran out of two critical meds which regulate BP and pulse rate. I'm back on my medication and even the VA accepted my new address with no further red tape so my supply is assured for awhile.

I just need to clear all the hospital/doctor bills before spending anything on toys.

But, thanks for the good wishes.

Dave H,

Glad you're doing well and still on this side of the grass.

And THANK YOU for your service.
