Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with designing a device that communicates at a baud rate of 4800 bps using a UART with a 1.8432 MHz clock frequency. What divisor will you need to configure?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the baud rate formula to find your answer.

Question 2

A microcontroller communicates with multiple sensors over I2C. If a new sensor is added, how does this impact the design of the communication system?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the advantages of I2C's multi-device capabilities.
