Introduction Previously, we introduced the basic knowledge of I2C and SPI. In this chapter, we will discuss UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter), which is used for communication between internal and external devices of a computer. Data transmission within a computer is parallel, while data transmission with external devices is often serial. Therefore, a chip is needed … Read more
Serial Communication My Diary 2024 Is the most basic communication method faced by electrical engineers, with RS-232 being the simplest among them. Many beginners often struggle to understand the relationship and differences between UART and RS-232, RS-422, RS-485. This article will discuss these concepts to help clarify their relationships. If we compare serial communication to … Read more
UART, I2C, RS485… Although these communication methods are commonly used, their explanations can be ambiguous. I felt it necessary to organize them to consolidate and distinguish the concepts. The article is a bit lengthy, so I suggest saving it for future reference when needed. UART Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter The UART port refers to a physical … Read more
Before discussing buses, we should first understand what a bus is. According to Baidu, the complete definition is: a bus is a common communication trunk for transmitting information between various functional components of a computer. It is a transmission line bundle composed of wires, categorized according to the type of information transmitted by the computer. … Read more
UART, SPI, I2C and other serial communications are very common methods in embedded development. The underlying communication principles are not difficult, but many beginners struggle to learn them. Today, I will share some common underlying data transmission principles of communication. 1UART Serial Port UART: Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter. The UART serial port is the most common … Read more

When connecting a microcontroller to sensors, displays, or other modules, have you ever considered how the two devices communicate? What exactly are they saying? How can they understand each other? Communication between electronic devices is like communication between humans; both parties need to speak the same language. In electronics, these languages are called communication protocols. … Read more
