#151221 - I love slave processors Responding to: ???'s previous message |
A litle µc ....
I love slave processors, they are tupperware (keeping everything nice and freash) For example I have a case where I need to communicate by 3 different kinds (both hardware and protocol) of serial transmission and I just added 3 < $1 processors that communicate by identical records to the master via IIC. That way, there is no need to make a multiformat master with external UARTs, 3 different, but similar modules etc. 'offloading' some processing has many advantages. Erik |
