Bit banging

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 212.247.11.6 (talk) at 15:31, 6 December 2005 (Proposed a merge with Bit banging). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Bit-banging is a technique to communicate on a serial bus without the use of an UART in embedded systems. A software routine handles the UART transmit function by alternating a pin on the microcontroller by given time intervals. A receiver function is implemented by sampling a pin on the microcontroller by a given time interval.
