Welcome to Lesson 11 of the Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython - GPIO Mastery course. In this lesson, you will learn how to use UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) to communicate between your Raspberry Pi Pico board and other devices. UART is a common serial communication protocol used to connect microcontrollers to other devices such as sensors, displays, and GPS modules.
Raspberry Pi Pico with MicroPython - GPIO Mastery
UART is a communication protocol used to transmit and receive data between two devices. It is an asynchronous protocol, which means that the transmitter and receiver are not synchronized by a clock signal. Instead, they rely on a predetermined baud rate to synchronize the transmission and reception of data.
To use UART on your Raspberry Pi Pico board, you will need to configure the UART pins and baud rate. Follow these steps to configure UART:
machine.UART
init
Here’s an example of configuring UART with a baud rate of 9600:
from machine import UART uart = UART(0, baudrate=9600, tx=Pin(0), rx=Pin(1))
Once you have configured UART on your Raspberry Pi Pico board, you can use it to send and receive data to other devices. Here’s an example of sending a message over UART:
uart.write("Hello, world!")
And here’s an example of receiving data over UART:
data = uart.read(10)
In this lesson, you learned how to use UART to communicate between your Raspberry Pi Pico board and other devices. You also learned how to configure UART on your board and how to use it in MicroPython. You can use this knowledge to create a variety of projects that involve communicating with other devices using UART.
