      <text xml:space="preserve">We have several related articles about Microcontroller Serial Communications on this site.  These articles themselves have many links off site.

* Microcontroller Serial Communications Articles this article, the a root for the articles on the site.

* [[BitWacker PIC and Other Microcontroller to Java Communications]] an oveview of the applications for Microcontroller Serial Communications.

** [[RS232/USB Probe]] an application with much of the functionality of a terminal emulator but with specialized extensions for for MicroController command response control.  The basis for a series of more specialized applications. See it for information on installation of all the applications and for access to the bug and enhancement list.

** [[BitWacker Command GUI]] an application for issuing the basic commands of the BitWacker.  Part of a series of articles based on the [[RS232/USB Probe]]

** [[Graphical Data Logger]] an application data logging and graphing. Sometimes called the PICMeter. Part of a series of articles based on the [[RS232/USB Probe]]

** [[USB Bit Whacker]] Brief discussion of this interesting development board with built in USB communications.

** [[Making Your Own Microcontroller Serial Communications Application]] Using the code from the above applications to make your own.


* [[RS232]] a discussion of some of the theory behind Microcontroller Serial Communications.  The PC side of this is implemented by [[RS232/USB Probe]] and its related applications.

* [[Serial Communications Library -- BoostC and 16F877A]] is an example PIC program and communications library that uses the techniques discussed in  [[RS232]], above.

* [[PC-Microcontroller Communications]] an article on some of the technology of microcontroller communications and lots of external links.

* [[Analog Whacker]]  a proposal for hardware to link the Bitwacker to the [[Graphical Data Logger]] above.

* [[SPI]] is a popular protocol for many small peripheral chips
