by Jan Axelson This book explores wide and varied territory, including hardware and software; ports in PCs and in embedded systems; and RS-232, RS-485, and wireless interfaces. You don’t need to read the book straight through. If you’re interested in a particular topic, you can skip right to it. The first chapters focus on hardware and interfacing. Chapters 1 and 2 are an introduction to asynchronous serial communications. Chapter 3 discusses serial ports in PCs, and chapters 4–8 are a guide to interfacing using RS-232, RS-485, and wireless technologies. The next chapters are a guide to programming. Chapters 9 and 10 show how to program serial ports on PCs using Visual Basic .NET and Visual C# .NET. Chapter 11 shows how to program serial ports for embedded systems with examples for microEngineering Labs' PICBASIC PRO compiler and Microchip Technology's MPLAB C18 C compiler. Chapters 12 and 13 focus on hardware and programming for RS-485 serial networks. Chapters 14–16 explain how to implement USB virtual COM ports using special-purpose and generic USB controllers. 380 pages.
