Welcome to my week 14

Networking And Communications

Learning Outcomes:

Learnt serial bus.

Learnt how to Interfacing

Learnt programming my board.

Brief

Data communications refers to the transmission of this digital data between two or more computers and a computer network or data network is a telecommunications network that allows computers to exchange data. The physical connection between networked computing devices is established using either cable media or wireless media. The best-known computer network is the Internet.

Getting started with Networking And Communications

My Assignment:-

In this week literly I dont know what to interface in the board so I got help from youtube and then I started understanding and then.

so I started making re design of board and node.

Steps :

i have designed this bridge and node on eagle

There are two boards, (one node) and (one bridge). The only difference is that the bridge board has FTDI pin headers connected on the bus to allow the computer to communicate with the boards. So when the boards receive a special character that matches its identifier it toggles the led and send to the computer its name. this can be generalized to be a talking system between the boards, which means when one board calls another board, that board only responds and the other don't which will be useful in many ways , that's the importance of making addressing in the code.

I printed the boards and the programed them.

In the first trial I used Neil's Code

   }

I uploaded the code to the boards using the fab ISP using Arduino IDE as shown in the picture.

Video in this video you will see the 2 boards are working that when I press '0' the first board (the bridge) flashes twice and the other flash only once the other do the same when their id is called

I have given additional power supply from arduino

Conclusion

By the same way you can connect many microcontrollers (each one has its on address) together and make them communicate easily and they may be distant and communicate by bluetooth or wi-fi and do different functions which enables us of more great ideas.
