Serial port and microcontrollers: Principles, circuits, and source codes
Ever wanted to build own electronic devices? Would you like to connect them to other devices or a computer? Easiest way to achieve this is to use microcontrollers and RS-232 serial port. This book shows how to design own circuits based on AVR and STM32 microcontrollers and how to program the chips. You can learn how to handle serial transmission on microcontrollers and on a PC. The book contains practical examples and many useful tips. Hardware and software tools are described in details. There is also much information about RS-485, and serial-to-USB adapters. Presented projects give practical knowledge about not only serial communication but also topics such as LED displays, LCDs, Bluetooth, and RC-5.
Why Read This Book
You will get a practical, electronics-plus-firmware walkthrough of serial communications — from RS-232/RS-485 hardware and level-shifting to serial-to-USB bridges and PC-side handling — with worked example circuits and source code for AVR and STM32. If you want concrete examples that connect schematics to real firmware and tools for debugging serial links, this book gives hands-on recipes and useful tips you can apply immediately.
Who Will Benefit
Best for hobbyists and junior-to-intermediate embedded engineers working with AVR or STM32 who need to implement and debug UART/RS-232/RS-485 links, build serial peripherals, or bridge devices to PCs.
