Communication Protocols - Practicals

This document summarizes three common communication protocols: UART, I2C, and SPI. UART uses two wires for serial communication between devices, converting data to packets. I2C allows multiple master/slave devices on a bus using device addresses. SPI uses four connections in a master-slave configuration with a serial clock for synchronous transfers. The document provides examples of initializing and using each protocol with an Arduino, including configuring baud rates, reading/writing data, and transferring data on the bus.

SPI
What is UART?
• Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter

• Hardware device used for serial communication between two devices


How UART works?
• One wire is for transmitting data (Tx pin)
• Other is for receiving data (Rx pin)

• UART convert data into packets for sending or rebuilding data from
packets received
How UART works?
• Data Packet

• What is the use of Parity Bit?


• What is the use of UART buffer?
• Can data loss occur? If so, how?
ARDUINO UART Interface
ARDUINO UART Interface
• Serial.begin(VALUE); - initialize UART
• VALUE – baud rate (generally 9600 bps)

• Serial.available(); - check if data waiting to read in buffer

• Serial.read(); - read data waiting in buffer

• Serial.write(VALUE); - send data via Tx pin


• VALUE – byte to be sent
ARDUINO UART Interface Example
ARDUINO UART Interface Example
What is I2C?
• Inter-Integrated Circuit

• Low speed serial communication protocol


used for transferring data over short
distances

• Consists of a master device and slave device

• Can have multiple master and slave devices?


How I2C works?
• Each slave device has an I2C address – used to identify

• Can master device send and receive data?

• Slave device responds to whatever master device sends

• Can only one device send data at a time?


ARDUINO I2C Network

• Sending data over I2C
• Wire.beginTransmission()
• Wire.write()
• Wire.endTransmission()

• Receiving data over I2C


• Wire.requestForm()
• Wire.available()
• Wire.read()

What is SPI?
• Serial Parallel Interface

• Type of synchronous serial communication – data transfer is timed


with cock pulses.

• Short range – less than 10 meters


How SPI works?
• Consists of one master and one or more slave devices

• Each master and slave device has four connections


• MOSI – Master out Slave In
• MISO – Master In Slave Out
• SCLK - Serial Clock
• SS/CS – Slave Select/Chip Select
SPI Configurations
Independent Slave Configuration DAISY Chain Configuration
ARDUINO SPI Network
ARDUINO SPI Network
• Using SPI protocol in Arduino - <SPI.h>

• SPI.begin()

• SPI.setClockDivider(divider)
• Divider – 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128

• SPI.attachInterrupt(handler)

• SPI.transfer(val)
