Hi,
I want to be able to buffer a short stream of serial data in my
circuit (maybe 10 bytes maximum or less).
Basically i want to receive serial communications, at *any* time - no
flow control - and i want to 'get' these bytes in the main process
when i want them from somewhere.
I dont have easy access to parts - so im hoping this can be
accomplished with perhaps a 16f628 pic, programmed to be some kind of
buffer.
Any suggestions on doing that ?
Secondly, if i was to order specific parts for this - what should i
get.
so i want non-flow control serial input (slow) to enter some kind of
'buffer chip' - and then i want to be able to pull those bytes out the
other end of the 'buffer chip' when i feel like it from a seperate
mcu..
whats the best chip for this ? i hear people using loads of max232
chips all over the place - do these just generate the correct voltage
levels etc or are they buffers also ?
Thanks again!
Alex.
