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 ...

Microchip announces the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer. This new tool enables design engineers to easily and cost-effectively interface with embedded circuits within serial systems using any Windows®-based ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s not much of a stretch to assume that the majority of Hackaday readers are at least familiar with I2C. In fact, there’s an excellent chance that anyone who’s ever done more with an Arduino than ...

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 ...
