The project illustrates the serial interfacing of Hitachi compatible 2×16 LCD modules with PIC16F84 or PIC16F628 microcontroller unit. Before doing serial interfacing LCD with PIC microcontroller, it ...

An open-source remote management system combines Raspberry Pi Pico boards, a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, and serial communication ...

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 ...

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 ...

Just like a PC’s USB port, the serial port on a PC can also in some cases serve as a power supply. A USB port can provide as much as 500 mA at 5V, but a serial port provides less power. Even with the ...

Toshiba plans to release groups of microcontrollers for communication control in high-speed data processing, and devices equipped with high-precision analog circuits for control of low- to ...

I know you’ve heard of both synchronous and asynchronous communications. But do you really know the differences between the two? Serial communication was used long before computers existed. A ...

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 ...
