 **RS485 to TTL**
 \\
-The XL-320 uses TTL logic levels (0 to 5v) for communication. Since the NXT uses RS485 communication, an RS485-to-TTL converter must be used. This can be done using a MAX485 chip, as seen in **this** tutorial or with an off the shelf converter such as [[https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Adapter-Module-Converter-Indicator/dp/B075V2NMV8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=rs485+to+ttl&qid=1558067804&s=gateway&sr=8-3|this one]].

+The MAX485 chip offers some simplicity over using an off the shelf converter although many higher level features are not included. Nevertheless, it is definitely enough for this tutorial at a fraction of the cost and zero extra added components. The pin layout is as follows:
+\\
+   *1 - TTL Output
+   *2 - LOW (GND)
+   *3 - LOW (GND)
+   *4 - Not Connected
+   *5 - GND
+   *6 - SDA (From NXT)
+   *7 - SCL (From NXT)
+   *8 - 5 volts
