#136658 - Simple solution Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I have suggested this solution on another occasion and some member was not happy with it. However my 3 AT89C2051 are still working with a PC on 1 serial port.
Here it is again: You can simply tie the TXD pins of both micros together and the tie both RXD pins of the micros together. Now both micros will get the same message from the PC. Give each micro an ID so that it knows when the PC is 'talking' to it so that it will only respond when addressed. Of course if you have long distances you need another solution. Cheers, Tony |
