Project to learn about protocols and busses

Community Projects

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would have pointers to projects to learn about networks of Arduino’s?

Esp. I am wondering how to grasp better the basics of communication protocols, master-slave setups, maybe a project to communicate via the LIN bus?

Thanks for feedback!

  1. Buy 2 Arduino’s and a bunch of other thingies that communicate using various methods.

  2. ???

  3. Profit

It’s not actually that easy to get a pair or arduino’s to talk together. If you haven’t already I would start with getting the arduino to talk to a non-arduino device to start. Like a display. Then work on some other busses SPI I2C and classic Serial.

Or you can jump right in like skimask says. But be prepared for the effort and reading.

If you can blinky and you can Google, it works. Case closed.

If you can’t do those two things, better go back to class for U.W.B.W. 101.

Thanks, I’ll read up on displays and SPI, I2C. Any (open-source) software projects at github that might be worth to checkout?

BTW, what is UWBW?

Thanks!
