Hi All,
Trying to take the next step in learning the PIC microcontroller and am now looking into the various ways of sending data. What i dont understand is how to decide which method to use as they seem to be very similar.
I understand I2C is used when communicating between two IC's (pic and external eeprom etc) The confusion comes with usart and rs232. I know rs232 is a popular standard for communicating with computers but does that involve a usart?
Also i was looking into using an LCD board. How is the best way to go about sending data to one. Do i need a usart?
can anyone correct me or explain things better.
Thank You
Andy
