When designing a multicontroller system, it is convenient to organize the communication between µCs via one wire line. Unfortunately, low-end µCs have no serial-interface capabilities like their more ...

It’s pretty common to have at least a couple of meters around to measure different values of a circuit at the same time. Where [Emilio P.G. Ficara] ran into a problem was logging the data from both at ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

It’s not much of a stretch to assume that the majority of Hackaday readers are at least familiar with I2C. In fact, there’s an excellent chance that anyone who’s ever done more with an Arduino than ...

Freescale’s 45-nm SOI-based MPC8569E multicore microcontroller incorporates intelligent peripherals to target high-speed communications applications such as gateways and wireless infrastructure. The ...

A bootloader makes it possible to update a product’s firmware in the field. Common communication interfaces like UART, I 2 C, SPI or USB can be used to update the firmware, which typically involves a ...

Most of the embedded applications require real-time communications to support their application environment. Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® have emerged as the standards of choice for connecting local embedded ...
