UART TX/RX

maker

UART Transmission (TX) and Reception (RX) are the serial communication processes for sending and receiving data over a UART interface, respectively.

expanded

UART TX/RX facilitate asynchronous serial communication by converting parallel data into a serial format for point-to-point data transmission. Utilized in embedded systems, these processes enable devices to communicate via serial ports by transmitting data as a stream of bits. Standard baud rates like 9600 bps or 115200 bps are often used, making UART TX/RX crucial for interfacing microcontrollers with peripherals and communication modules.

examples

Connection between an Arduino Uno and an HC-05 Bluetooth module using UART communication at 9600 baud.

Used in DIY electronics projects to enable wireless communication between an Arduino microcontroller and a Bluetooth device without complex wiring.

Interfacing a Raspberry Pi with a GPS module using UART at 4800 baud to receive location data.

Common in projects requiring precise geographic information, where a Raspberry Pi reads NMEA sentences from a GPS module via UART communication.
