Tony Gelonese's method might have worked OK in the field; but this is not the perfect solution. This solution will work on xxxx type of CPUs, but not as presented - list about 2000 chips
but will NOT work on YYYY type of CPUs list about 1000 and the reason being that YYYY chips convert TxD/RxD into Strong pull ups when used as UARTS, but in XXXX chips this is not so, hence Tony Gelonese's method will work on XXXX chips. but not as Tony states If you want to implement this scheme on YYYY chips, then you can use the above schematic, can't comment on an incomplete schematic, always check in preview but the protocol has to be such that there is NO Bus-contention (2 transmitters on the network at any given moment of time). which was the very question posted to Tony Erik |
