Around 2005, as a project related to a teaching aid, I created a PICAXE project. It comprises three PCBs.
One of these is a voltage convertor using a MAX232. The circuit requires 5V as power supply.
The EP44 has an RS232C interface, an LCD display and the intention is to re-purpose it as an interactive device. BBC micro-bit code
The data connector on the EP44 is a 25 pin female.
