Hi All,
I appreciate that this may have been asked before so I hope that you will bear with me and offer an answer.
I am starting to write some embedded software, for the first time. But I have extensive experience in Hardware, so I hope the learning curve isn't going to be too steep. Basically in my first project I want to be able to load a serial stream of data at 9600bps coming from a peripheral device into an array on my Microcontroller. This data is coming in through the UART.
I was wondering how I manage to load this into consecutive slots. ie do I need to interrupt the processor to say another byte is coming? If so how is this done?
I am programming in C.
