Only the one which was addressed will then execute the command and respond. Like good little children the others wait till they are spoken to before they respond. But you said: If the PC echoes back the characters, then each of the 8051's can determine when there is no transmission and can initiate a transmission if necessary. So they don't just "wait till they are spoken to"; they can also transmit unsolicited - and that won't work without some sort of collision-detection |
