Thoughts on Serial Communication Design with 51 Microcontroller

Thoughts on Serial Communication Design with 51 Microcontroller

Recently, I needed to use the 51 microcontroller for some control tasks in a project. The main function is to receive commands from the host computer through the serial port, analyze and decode them, and wait for an external trigger signal to execute the previously received command actions. Fortunately, I had an STC89C52 on hand, … Read more
