1Mbps with Spin

inaki

Is it possible to achieve 1Mbps serial communication under Spin ? Or should I switch to ASM ?

Spin can perform 70K+ Instructions/Sec on average. Depending on how much you need in the code, it looks doubtful. ASM would be your best choice in my opinion.

Martin is correct, ASM is required for 1Mbps serial communications.

Hi Inaki, it was brought to my attention that if you are looking for asynchronous 1Mbps, the FullDuplexSerial object is capable of doing so. If you are looking for synchronous 1Mbps, no object exists yet and it would need to be written in assembler.

what kind of interface do you need ???

Paul Baker

Sorry, I dont fully understand your question. Are you asking what kind of software or hardware interface is needed, and are you asking about the FullDuplexSerial or synchronous serial?
