Hello,

I would like several microcntrollers (type 80c32) to communicate with each other. Using a serial network , perhaps with the maxim Ic's. But i don't now how to begin... I rather not use the I2C bus, because i think its to complex and the IC are to expensive.
Or can you just simple put the TXD of the master to all of the RXD of the slave's and vica versa and lett the software take care of the adressing and data ( i know there are chips of the 8051 family that have the capability to have a base adress and when that is verified they handle the rest of the data send and if not equal ( adres) they ignore until an new adres pops up).

thaks verry much

Nico
