Raspberry Pi project ideas: Modern solutions require more modern solutions!
Ever seen the meme that goes like “Modern problems require modern solutions?” Well, what happens if your modern solutions create some modern problems? Well then, you need a modern solution. Hence, modern solutions require modern solutions. Sometimes, though, these problems are so minor that manufacturers won’t bother creating a solution for you. Luckily, as Raspberry…
Read MoreUART – The Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter
UART is a full duplex serial interface. It enables two devices to communicate over just three wires and supports variable speeds. UART Characteristics Like the name suggests, UART is an asynchronous interface. Unlike SPI or I2C there is no need for a dedicated clock. The two devices just need to use the same transmission speed.…
