hi guys,
I'm working on a project and I need a serial to 8bit parallel converter component or circuit.
The serial signal will be generated by an arduino and will be transmitted over RF (got a premade rf transmitter and receiver). The signal will be in a rs232-style line coding meaning 1 start bit, my 8bit data and a stop bit.
On the receiving side i need to convert the serial signal to a parallel bits so with some logic port's it can figure out what action to perform. In my final project i will have multiple receivers so the component/circuit should be as cheap as possible
.
I've looked into shift registers but it doesn't seem to be easy to solve this problem that way. Also someone suggested using uart's (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) but i'm not entirely sure how they work and do they all need to be programmed? The main advantage of uart's seems to be oversampling... Any other suggestions always welcome
.
thanks in advance,
Wieweet
