Search on WeChat Technical Training RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 are all standards for serial data interfaces; Communication issues are similar to traffic issues, with various situations such as high speed, low speed, congestion, and interruptions. If we compare serial communication to traffic, UART is like a station, and a frame of data is like a … Read more
The RS232 type DB9 interface, which used to be found on older computers, can be connected to modems. In MCU51 microcontroller projects, this UART interface is generally used, with serial port rates of 115200bps, 57600bps, etc. Later, USB to serial converters like PL2302 and FT232 emerged, with rates reaching up to 921600bps, which is considered … Read more
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
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
01 Output Forms of Sensors 1. Digital Output Type Digital output primarily includes three forms: RS232, RS485, and wireless transmission. The specific digital output type is chosen based on the actual communication distance and the complexity of the terrain. RS232 output is generally suitable for short-distance transmission within 15 meters and has weak electromagnetic interference … Read more
Learning about microcontrollers is a long and somewhat painful process. Especially for beginners, it is difficult to form a systematic learning framework when various types of knowledge are incomplete in the early stages. This article aims to provide a thought process and list some essential foundational knowledge before getting into microcontrollers. 1. There are only … Read more
Click Tech Training Top, delivering to you daily at 7:30 AM What are RS232, RS485, UART, serial ports, COM ports, USB ports, and TTL? Do you understand their relationships? First, we need to distinguish between timing standards and logic level standards. Timing standards refer to the logical values (0 and 1) corresponding to actual voltage … Read more
Click the card above to follow for more information 1. Why Do We Prefer Serial Communication? When working on microcontroller products, the most commonly used method is serial communication. For any microcontroller peripherals, those with serial port functionality are prioritized, such as Bluetooth modules, WIFI modules, 4G modules, electric meters, and displays. Why do we … Read more
Many students learning embedded systems often feel confused by various protocols and can’t distinguish their functions. Today, I will clarify the five commonly used protocols in embedded systems, packed with useful information. Without further ado, let’s get started! 01 UART Communication Protocol 1. Principle The data packet in serial communication is transmitted from the sending … Read more
Many technicians encounter the following problem: why can’t my touch screen communicate with the PLC? For instance, here are two issues: 1. Weintek Touch Screen and Siemens PLC cannot communicate, always prompting that the PLC is unresponsive. How should it be set up? Solution: Set the same baud rate, the same bit count, and the … Read more
