hello
I'm working on a project involving power line communication between PCs using the serial port. But in addition, I also want to be able to send serial data that will be received by a simple digital network and used to control a set of devices. I've seen it done with the serial port but can it be implemented similarly using the serial port maybe using a serial-in register to receive the serial data and then a logic circuit to switch various devices depending on the data in the register?
