Class UART

The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) is a asynchronous and full duplex communication interface. The iLCD controllerJoC has connections to the serial port's RX, TX and GND pin. The serial port of the controlling application can be set with the baud rate, data, parity and 1, 1.5 or 2 stop bits.

The frequency range is adjustable via the open method and can be adjusted within 12 steps up to a baud rate of 460800. The number of bits transferred in each frame can also be adjusted via the open method and ranging from 5 to 8-bits per frame.

Separate RX and TX buffers are used for data transmission. The TX buffer can be written with the write method and the RX buffer can be read with the read method. The data bytes are transmitted immediately if data are written to the TX buffer. Each buffer has a fixed size of 127 bytes.

In order to receive UART data automatically using UART events OnUARTListener has to be added to the UARTEventDispatcher of the EventManagement system.
