All About Serial
What are serial protocols?
I2C, SPI, and UART are three of the most common protocols for serial data transmission. An overview of these protocols can be found here:
Configuring the UART on PSoC
What is a UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)?
UART is one serial protocol used for communicating data between two digital devices (e.g., between the Pioneer Kit and the computer).
Particle Argon Wifi Board
What is the Particle Argon? What does it do?
The Particle Argon is a “wi-fi for everything” development kit that includes a microcontroller, wi-fi hardware, and easy-to-use web-based IDE (Integrated Development Environment). It is typically used to add wi-fi functionality into products without spending a huge amount of development time on the wi-fi hardware and software. A more detailed introduction is available here.
Setting up Analog I/O and Unidirectional EUSART on the PIC18F47Q10
Introduction
Many sensors have an analog output that must be digitized using an Analog to Digital converter (ADC) in order to use them in a microcontroller. The PIC’s ADC subsystem is the peripheral used to read analog values and convert it into a digital number for use in your program. It can be configured in a variety of ways. In this assignment, you will create an ADC subsystem and program your microcontroller to transmit the result of reading an analog voltage measured at an input pin, using the ADC subsystem in one of its simplest configurations.

Objectives
Getting familiar with UART on both PIC and Particle platforms. In this tutorial, you will set up the PIC as a black box that will respond to various inputs from the Argon. Utilizing the USB serial bus on the Argon, we can verify the project at the end.
