Serial Transmitter

 

 

Purpose:

 

 

Checkpoint 1:

 

 

Maxim 233 Chip

 

 

Maxim 233 chip:

 

Wrap ID:

 

UART Serial Transmitter

 

 

Convert 16MHz clock to 115kHz

 

Serial data sent down serial line:

 

Sending Serial Data

 

 

Serial transmission protocol:

Þ FSM to handle protocol, and start sending when spare button pressed

 

9 pin Serial connector:

Pin numbers are not stated in lab handout so write these down!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

 

 

 

Debugging Checkpoint 1

 

 

Need to send data to serial at 115kHz

 

To output signals to pins and show on LEDs:

It is useful when debugging to output the state to LEDs.

 

Use oscilloscope to observe serial signal:

Project

 

Meeting with TA next week (5% of project):

These should be neatly presented to hand in to your TA (keep a copy for yourself).

Outline the key points of your design

Be on time, or you get zero.
