#113544 - MCU with multiple UARTs ? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Another thing you could look for is a microcontroller that has multiple (for your project, six) UARTs. One for communicating with the host PC, the other five for talking to ADuCs, plus some software to handle the communication.
Alternatively, you could use multiple microcontrollers with three or more UARTs (I guess they are easier to find than a chip that has six UARTs) and build a tree-like structure. However, this basically means you are reinventing a very crude version of USB and have to write all the glue software yourself. Not something I'd really want to do. |
