  • Hello Zubair.... are you sure that its your final year's project and you have to drive only LED ? well i am astonished .... i am student of B.E. and in my final year i have created whole system of MCUs...

    Well can you send us full discription of your project .? and yes also try to find in GOOGLE like
    MAX232 interfacing.

    Try This
    www.beyondlogic.org/.../serial.htm

    and one more thing... that Serial port is Serail so you have to use some technique just like "SERIAL IN PERALLEL OUT SHIFT REGISTER" or you can simply use some TTL ics just like 74LS168 (well not sure you can see it)

  • And yes as barry said you can use MCu to let your LED work as you want .. but i think it might be little bit tricky... because you need to learn UART of MCu and also you have to work out on MCu's Pins with A language like Assembly or C.
