Study Notes
Serial Communication
- A simple and widely used method for transmitting data one bit at a time between Arduino and other devices like computers or other Arduinos
- Utilizes dedicated pins (Rx - receive, Tx - transmit) for data exchange
- Built-in functions like Serial.begin() for setting baud rate (data transmission speed) and Serial.println() for sending data
Parallel Communication
- Less common than serial communication
- Transmits data multiple bits simultaneously using multiple data lines
- Requires more complex hardware setup and is not a standard feature on most Arduino boards
Interfacing LCD Character Display
- Character displays show text and basic symbols
- Connect to Arduino via I2C or SPI communication protocols
- Libraries like LiquidCrystal simplify controlling the display by providing functions for writing text, clearing the display, etc.
UART Communication (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter)
- Defines the format for transmitting and receiving data asynchronously (not synchronized with a clock signal)
- Specifies aspects like baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity control (error checking)
- Serial Communication often utilizes UART for data exchange
- Libraries like SoftwareSerial allow using non-dedicated pins for serial communication
Interfacing ESP8266 Module
- The ESP8266 is a Wi-Fi module that can connect Arduino to the internet
- Communication with ESP8266 often involves sending AT commands through serial communication
- Libraries simplify interacting with the ESP8266 Wi-Fi functionality
I2C Communication (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
- A two-wire serial communication protocol for connecting multiple devices (up to 128) to a single bus
- One line carries the clock signal (SCL), and the other carries data (SDA)
- Each device on the bus has a unique address for data transfer
ADXL345 Module and BMP180 Module
- ADXL345 is a common 3-axis accelerometer used to measure acceleration in various directions
- Communicates with Arduino via I2C protocol
- Libraries like Adafruit_ADXL345 simplify reading acceleration data from the sensor
- BMP180 is a pressure sensor used to measure atmospheric pressure for altitude or weather monitoring
- Communicates with Arduino through I2C
- Libraries like Adafruit_BMP080 help interact with the sensor and read pressure data
SPI Communication (Serial Peripheral Interface)
- A synchronous serial communication protocol faster than I2C
- Uses separate lines for clock (SCLK), data in (MOSI), and data out (MISO)
- Master device (usually Arduino) controls the communication and synchronizes data transfer with the clock signal
SD Card Interfacing and Ethernet Module Interfacing
- SD cards provide external storage for Arduino projects
- SPI communication is used to access and manage data on the SD card
- Libraries like SPI and SdFat simplify file reading and writing operations on the SD card
- Ethernet modules allow Arduino to connect to a wired network
- SPI communication is often used for data exchange with the module
- Libraries like Ethernet provide functions for network communication protocols like TCP/IP
