| Ap Charles said: you can use an other micro available with an I2C H/W , and then interface it with your 8051 You've seen the list now, so there's no excuse: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=129798 Yes, that's number No 6 on Jan's List that I cited originally: Jan Waclawek said: Options are:
 - get a 2-UART derivative plus some of the solutions below - switch the 1 internal UART (if data are not simultaneous) - soft UART if not too high speed and you know exactly what you do - use parallel interfaced external UART - use SPI/I2C interfaced external UART - use a "slave micro" interfaced via I2C/SPI Ap Charles said: i would suggest a PIC for this .  Why specifically a PIC? And, as Richard notes, why in this case - as the OP is obviously struggling just to get started with the '51?! |
