Differences between RS-485 Serial Protocols and RS-232 Serial Protocols Key Differences between RS-485 and RS-232 Serial Protocols

Why Serial? Well, using serial communication imparts a number of advantages including simplicity, easy-to-impellent, and needs only a few GPIO pins. RS-485 and RS-232 are the two serial data communications standards that have aged well. They existed way before USB, SPI, flex I2C, and many others, and yet still remain relevant and have their…

Serial Communication Protocols Serial Communication Protocols

Before starting with Serial Communication Protocols, let’s break down the terminology into three parts. Communication is a very well-known terminology that involves the exchange of information between two or more mediums. In embedded systems, communication means the exchange of data between two microcontrollers in the form of bits. This exchange of data bits in a…

RS232 Communication Protocol represents one of the most successful and enduring standards in electronics history. Originally developed in 1962 by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA), RS232 defined the interface between Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communication Equipment (DCE) for serial binary data interchange. While modern protocols like RS485,…
