If you are planning on a career as an engineer, it is important that you are aware of the various skills and attributes that employers look for. This is a terrific field to work in with highly rewarding and valuable work, high earning potential, and great job opportunities, but this is also one of the more challenging industries to crack, and there are many skills and attributes that are required. These are skills and attributes that can be developed, though, so if you lack in any, then you should be able to find ways to develop and improve. Read on to discover the skills and attributes that employers are looking for in engineering.
Hard Skills
Obviously, hard skills are essential in a field that is so technical. The hard skills that you need wil ...
Today we will talk about an extremely powerful tool in the use of microcontrollers. The Serial communication, specifically the USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) standard.
The system works using two wires. RX (Receiver) and TX (Transmitter), connecting two devices. The RX of one is connected to the TX of the other. If the choice is for a synchronous connection, it may be necessary to add one or two more pins to operate as a “traffic light”. But most current microcontrollers can operate asynchronously, which saves us the expense of pins. Data is sent, as the name implies, in a series of bits.
ESP8266 provides us with two ports, one of them converted to USB in the NodeMCU module.
