Does anyone know of a way to put an rs232 ascii data stream onto an i2c bus as a slave device.
For example, I have an i2c bus which has a master already. I need to give this master the data which is coming from an rs232 device, the problem is that all the rs232 to i2c converters I've seen are masters which assume it'll be plugged into a PC.
I assume that I need to convert levels with a MAX232 and then put that data into i2c format. I'm hoping there's a single chip which will convert the rs232 data into i2c data for a slave device, but any kind of solution would be appreciated.
