A given transmission on a communication channel between two machines can occur in several different ways. The transmission is characterized by the direction of the exchanges, the transmission mode, or ...

Often, you need to transmit a couple of bits or bytes of data to a microcontroller without a direct cable connection. One simple way to achieve this goal is to use a widely available IR receiver, such ...

Single-wire data transmission is useful when operating a multitude of disperse components if high speed isn’t a requirement, but there’s a need for flexibility. The approach reduces the number of ...

Serial transmission of data representing video and audio signals has become standard practice across the broadcast industry. There are many advantages, including high data rate capability, ...

It’s the easiest thing in the world — simple, straightforward serial data. It’s the fallback communication protocol for nearly every embedded system out there, and so it’s one that you really want to ...

[Jesus] is helping his cousin learn about microcontrollers. Right now they’re on the subject of serial communications, which turned into a nice way to add a Hackaday Easter Egg. Using and FTDI chip in ...

AC coupling using a series capacitor is a simple method for coupling multi-gigabit transmitters and receivers. It requires only one inexpensive passive component and eliminates complications due to ...

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 ...

The electronics industry is in the midst of a dramatic shift away from traditional parallel communication standards and towards new, high-speed serial interface technologies. This transformation is ...

Theater lighting standard DMX connects up to 512 light nodes using a serial daisy chain with EIA-485 or CAT5 for control. Prehistoric man used primitive lamps made from naturally occurring materials, ...
