Basics of UART Communication

Basics of UART Communication

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

Sensor Signal Transmission Methods and Introduction

Sensor Signal Transmission Methods and Introduction

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
