hi guys,
I'm working on a project and I need a serial to 8bit parallel converter component or circuit.
The serial signal will be generated by an arduino and will be transmitted over RF (got a premade rf transmitter and receiver). The signal will be in a rs232-style line coding meaning 1 start bit, my 8bit data and a stop bit.
On the receiving side i need to convert the serial signal to a parallel bits so with some logic port's it can figure out what action to perform. In my final project i will have multiple receivers so the component/circuit should be as cheap as possible.
I've looked into shift registers but it doesn't seem to be easy to solve this problem that way. Also someone suggested using uart's (Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter) but i'm not entirely sure how they work and do they all need to be programmed? The main advantage of uart's seems to be oversampling... Any other suggestions always welcome.
thanks in advance,
Wieweet
