SerialImpl

Introduction

This page will explain the different Implementations of Serial Communications

Implementations

Timer Based Communication

Required MCU Components:

• Timer (with count capability)
• IO Pin read

Capabilities

• Autobaud
• HAL based (Hardware Independent)
• Works with C/C++ Code

Limitations

• This communication can fail depending on the precision of the timer

Description

This Method uses a timer of an mcu and a pin to create a serial communication protocol.

ASM Only Communication

Required MCU Components:

• IO Pin read

Capabilities

• Autobaud

Limitations

• This method will not work within a (external C/C++) loop
• This method can only be used on AVR microcontrollers

Description

This method uses only asm to implement a serial communication

Inline ASM Communication

Required MCU Components:

• IO Pin read

Capabilities

• Autobaud
• Works with C/C++ Code

Limitations

• This method can only be used on AVR microcontrollers

Description

This Method uses Inline Assembler for communication
