TTL Connections Pinout:

Pin 1: VCC(+) - this pin requires 3.3V (or 5V for 5V TTL logic targets) to be supplied to the board for power.

Pin 2: RX - MAX3232 ROUT1 - This is actually a TTL output - this pin is usually connected to the RX pin of the UART in a microcontroller.
PC Serial Port RS232 level converted from TTL level input

Pin 3: TX - MAX3232 DIN1 - This is actually a TTL input - this pin is usually connected to the TX pin of the UART in a microcontroller.
PC Serial Port RS232 level converted to TTL level output

Pin 4: GND - this pin is the ground pin. This pin is usually connected to the 0V rail of the application hardware. Fully assembled.
