1. The serial port and COM port refer to the physical interface form (hardware). TTL, RS-232, and RS-485 refer to the level standards (electrical signals). 2. When connecting devices, usually only GND, RX, and TX are connected. Vcc or +3.3V power lines are generally not connected to avoid conflicts with the power supply of the … Read more
Point: 1. The serial port and COM port refer to physical interface types (hardware). TTL, RS-232, and RS-485 refer to signal level standards (electrical signals). 2. When connecting devices, generally only GND, RX, and TX are connected. The Vcc or +3.3V power line is usually not connected to avoid conflicts with the power supply of … Read more
What are the differences between serial ports, COM ports, TTL, RS-232, and RS-485? We often encounter these in our projects, so let’s summarize them. 1. Serial ports and COM ports refer to the physical interface form (hardware). TTL, RS-232, and RS-485 refer to the level standards (electrical signals). 2. When connecting devices, generally only GND, … Read more
Source: WeChat Official Account 【Osprey Talks Microcontrollers】 Author: Osprey ID: emOsprey Through several previous articles (which have been organized into a collection), we have understood many KEIL debugging methods, but how should we use these methods? This article will introduce personal debugging experiences. This section is divided into the following parts: 1) Virtual Serial Port … Read more
1 Preparation Before Debugging This section introduces a method to achieve serial debugging of user programs for the 51 microcontroller using the software simulation feature of Keil. This method requires no hardware emulator, and even no user circuit board is needed. All that is required is: ① Hardware. A standard computer (which needs to have … Read more
When it comes to communication, many people find it difficult and feel lost. I had the same feeling when I first encountered communication concepts. I gathered a lot of materials, mostly theoretical, and it always felt like I had no starting point. After finally understanding it, I realized that the main reason for not grasping … Read more
The serial interface, abbreviated as serial port, is also known as the serial communication interface (usually referring to the COM interface). It is an expanded interface that uses serial communication. If classified by interface, there are several types including RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485, among which the RS-232 serial port is the most commonly used serial … Read more
Introduction In industrial control sites, there exists a fundamental yet easily overlooked aspect that all devices rely on—serial ports. So, what is a serial port? Is there a risk associated with serial communication? Qi’an Technology’s classroom provides answers and details how to conduct safe offense and defense regarding serial ports. What is a Serial Port … Read more
Click the blue text / Follow us As we all know, our new version of the debugging tool from Bafanghui2022 has been released! I believe that electrical engineers will use it when encountering difficulties at work. Today, I will detail the serial port debugging function of our new version of the debugging tool. First, open … Read more
Introduction Recently, I prepared to implement a virtual serial port driver in Linux; however, since graduation, I have been engaged in bare-metal driver development, and thus I have gradually forgotten about device drivers in Linux. To achieve this functionality, I have searched for a lot of information online, but most of it only explains the … Read more
