In this chapter, we are going to study the Universal Asynchronous Receive and Transmit (UART) module of the PIC18f4525. This is a very versatile module that a lot of systems use. We will look at how the UART can be used to communicate with an external terminal using a terminal software program such as Tera Term. We will communicate with the terminal using no handshaking and then with handshaking.

After reading this chapter, you should understand what the UART does and how to use it in a variety ...
