Arduino SPI communication protocol and interfacing with SPI devices

The SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) protocol is another widely used communication protocol for interfacing with sensors, displays, and other devices that can be connected to an Arduino board. SPI uses a four-wire bus consisting of a serial data line (MOSI), a serial clock line (SCK), a slave select line (SS), and a serial data line … Read more

Arduino I2C communication protocol and interfacing with I2C devices

The I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol is a widely used communication protocol for interfacing with sensors, displays, and other devices that can be connected to an Arduino board. I2C uses a two-wire bus consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL) to transmit data between devices. Here’s an overview of how … Read more

Serial communication (UART) with Arduino

Serial communication is a common method of communication between an Arduino board and other devices, such as a computer or a smartphone. Serial communication uses a Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) protocol to transmit and receive data. Here’s an overview of how to use serial communication with an Arduino board: 1. Initialize the serial communication: To … Read more
