Serial buses dot the landscape of embedded design. From displays to storage to peripherals, serial interfaces make communications possible. Many serial communication interfaces compete for use in ...

The usual way send data from a microcontroller is either over RS-232 with MAX232 serial ICs, crystals, and a relatively ancient computer, or by bit-banging the USB protocol and worrying about driver ...

The project illustrates the serial interfacing of Hitachi compatible 2×16 LCD modules with PIC16F84 or PIC16F628 microcontroller unit. Before doing serial interfacing LCD with PIC microcontroller, it ...

When designing a multicontroller system, it is convenient to organize the communication between µCs via one wire line. Unfortunately, low-end µCs have no serial-interface capabilities like their more ...

Konstanz, Germany -- February 5, 2009 -- Today, Hyperstone introduced its high-performance E2 – 32-Bit RISC/DSP Microcontroller with additional on-chip highlights such as programmable serial ...

A bootloader makes it possible to update a product’s firmware in the field. Common communication interfaces like UART, I 2 C, SPI or USB can be used to update the firmware, which typically involves a ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

I know you’ve heard of both synchronous and asynchronous communications. But do you really know the differences between the two? Serial communication was used long before computers existed. A ...
