Voltage passes through these devices in order to continue down the line. Why is daisy chaining bad? Daisy chaining is a term that refers to the practice of plugging a power strip into another power strip. This is dangerous because an excessive amount of power is being drawn from one single wall outlet, which means the power strip or wall receptacle could easily overload. Can you daisy chain computers? Daisy chain in computer is network is when you connect multiple switches in such a way that switch no.
The switches are all connected like a train. This is called daisy chain. If you connect the last switch to the first one then you have created a ring network. Can I daisy chain outlets? Electrical receptacles have two pairs of terminals so that you can daisy-chain multiple receptacles on a single circuit in an existing house. Standard electric code allows you to wire amp receptacles with gauge wire, but it's safer to use gauge, which is thicker. What is a daisy chain cable used for?
The 1. What's a daisy chain slang? A line or circle of three or more persons engaged in simultaneous sexual activity. For example, A high-class call girl, she drew the line at daisy chains. I will certainly post a follow up when I do more testing in there. I am still learning the basics of serial comms. I do not believe that it will. I have further to post about this. For testing, they're just plugged into each other, with a "reflector" on the end to send the last node's info back to the host.
For accuracy, the above picture of the Arduino UNOs is probably not realistic. I will probably recreate the image for the followup post using Sparkfun's Arduino Pro, which has FTDI header on it, and does not have hardware sitting on D0 and D1, which I am not positive would influence the serial connection or not. It is a very good question though.
I should probably experiment and get you a definitive answer. How well did it work out in your family room? And if you were directly connecting the UARTs without any electrical buffering or conversion , how far apart were the devices? Did you use twisted or shielded cables? I have not done further tests on this yet.
I've had a block in the path for another aspect of the project, so I have put it back on the shelf for the time being Hey there, thanks for the run down. I read a lot of comments here, and see that you were as recently as July still working with arduino boards, so I have to ask. Did this work? Your proof of concept shows that it should, but did it do what you wanted? I want to daisy chain 3 or 4 arduino nanos to record data on a Pi Zero.
Each of the arduino will control a specific electronic function on an electric motorcycle, and I really want each to pass off their pertinent output eg: the throttle controller should pass along strings of CSV of throttle input, throttle output, and throttle mode. Each arduino can just append their data to the end of the string they received and pass it on, the Pi will append the full string into a CSV single file, each line a new data point with several values, then upload its database to a home server when trusted wifi is connected.
Essentially the bike should output a spreadsheet of its own dynamometer! If you've read this far, thanks again. I'll appreciate any thoughts you have.
Being that I may be using my reflashed stepper motor controllers in this, rather than full-blown Arduino boards or custom ATmega boards , I need to have a way to network these without using any precious IO pins. On top of this, it needs to be very lightweight so that I can send data down through all of the performers without using too many resources of the device. I also want it to be cheap, both with cost of parts for implementation, as well as for system resources in the chip firmware.
The solution I came up with is to use the builtin UART, which usually is set for a standard RS connection, but in a cascading daisy chain fashion. This means that the hardware-assisted UART in each chip, plus one data line down to the next chip is all that's needed to implement this. The networking stack running on the device is light enough that it should not impact performance of the main usage of the Arduino.

The device selects are used to identify the intended recipients of the command, address, and data words. The SDI signal is not part of the shared communication bus Each serial device receives its SDI signal from a preceding device rather than from the serial communication bus As illustrated, the SDI input for the first device is provided by the bus master.
Thus, the SDI [] of serial device is provided by bus master All the serial devices in a group share the same device select signal A bus master with a plurality of device selects allows for handling more than one group of serial devices.
Given that the device select is shared with all serial devices in the same group, other mechanisms must be used to differentiate between devices in the same group.
In one embodiment, the communication protocol embeds a device or channel identifier CID into the command sequence to uniquely identify a specific device or channel when the devices are daisy chained.
Generally, instead of providing a static address for each serial device, the serial device addresses are determined inherently by the device distance from the bus master measured in terms of other serial devices.
Each serial device compares its received channel identifier with a pre-determined value to determine whether it has been selected. The CID is modified as it cascades through the daisy chain.
This permits all serial devices to compare their respective received CIDs with the same pre-determined value. The devices, however, do not distinguish between daisy chain mode or normal mode in terms of behavior.
Accordingly, the behavior of the bus master with respect to device selection and device addressing must change depending upon whether the devices are coupled in daisy chain fashion. Step [] determines the mode of operation.
This is determined by the system designer. In one embodiment, a register bit is used to inform the bus master about the selected mode. The bus master must assert the device select of the selected or targeted serial devices in step [] Due to the daisy chain implementation, at a minimum all of the serial devices preceding the targeted serial device s in the daisy chain must have their corresponding device selects asserted. Typically, all the daisy chained devices will share the same device select as illustrated in FIG.
The command sequence is distributed to the plurality of serial devices in step The daisy chained devices receive a command sequence at substantially the same time with delays introduced only as a result of propagation delays through any preceding device in the chain.
If devices are not connected in a daisy chain configuration, then the bus master must assert the device selects of the targeted serial devices to the exclusion of the non-targeted devices in step [] The same command sequence is then issued substantially simultaneously to the serial devices in step The serial devices do not distinguish between normal or daisy chain modes of operation because this is determined by the interconnection of the devices.
In the daisy chain mode, however, the device selects are shared and thus cannot uniquely identify devices. Thus the CID is required in the daisy chain mode. In the normal mode, all the devices receive the same CID, thus the device select is used to uniquely identify devices.
Thus neither the device select nor the CID can be used exclusively to identify targeted devices. Instead, both the device selects and the CID are used to identify the device. Only the behavior of the bus master must change between the two modes. In particular, the CID provided by the bus master in the command sequence changes depending upon the mode of operation. When in daisy chain mode, the bus master provided CID typically must specifically identify the targeted serial device.
The shared device selects are all asserted and thus cannot exclusively target a unique device. Thus in one embodiment, step [] must ensure that the command sequence specifies the CID of the targeted device. When in normal mode, the bus master provided CID matches the predetermined value used for comparison by each serial device.
Even though all devices receive the same CID, only those devices with their device selects asserted will be targeted. Thus in one embodiment, step [] provides a command sequence specifying the pre-determined comparison value of all the devices as the CID. In one embodiment, the communication protocol supports a broadcast option. The broadcast option may be indicated by the command sequence. The serial devices will ignore the CID when the broadcast option is detected.
When operating in daisy chain mode, the bus master specifies the CID of the targeted device or ensures the broadcast option is selected to target all devices in step [] When the bus master is operating in normal mode, the broadcast option has little effect. Given that the broadcast option renders the CID value irrelevant, however, the bus master may provide a CID other than the predetermined comparison value when the broadcast option is selected in step The interconnection between the devices determines the mode of operation.
In particular, the SDI input ports receive everything directly from the bus master in normal mode. The command sequence is serially clocked from the bus master to the SDI input of the first serial device in the daisy chain. Command sequence execution logic [] interprets and executes the command sequence, if the device has been selected as determined from the command sequence i.
Command sequence processing logic receives the incoming command sequence. Command sequence processing logic extracts the CID for device A and modifies the CID and therefore the command sequence for transmission to the next device in the daisy chain.
If the device select signal is not asserted as determined by step [] , then the device ignores the command sequence as indicated by step If the device select is asserted, however, step determines whether the broadcast option has been selected from the command sequence.
If so, then the device executes the command sequence irrespective of the CID as indicated by step If the broadcast option is not selected, the command sequence processing logic extracts the CID from the received command sequence in step [] In particular, the device receives a first command sequence having a first CID and a remaining command sequence.
The command sequence processing logic generates a second command sequence from the second CID and the remaining command sequence for use by the next device in the daisy chain. The modification step enables a simple addressing and detection scheme. If a device's received CID indicates that the device has been selected in step [] , the command sequence is acted on in step Otherwise, the command sequence is ignored in step A determination of whether the device is the selected device can be achieved by comparing the received CID with a pre-determined value such as x0h or xFh.
Rather than programming each device with a unique address for comparison with a commonly received CID, the devices can use a common pre-determined comparison value because the serial CID modification scheme ensures each device receives a unique CID when the devices are in a daisy chain mode.
Due to the nature of the daisy chain, however, there is only a single clock cycle delay permitted between receipt of a bit and transmission of the bit to the next device. Accordingly, the command sequence protocol must be designed to permit serial modification within the window of opportunity presented by the daisy chain configuration.
The command sequence protocol consists of control [] , address , and data , words. As indicated by timing diagram , each command sequence begins with a control word followed by an address word and then one or more data words. In the illustrated embodiment, each address and data word is 8 bits long. The command word includes a bit C [] 7 to indicate whether the broadcast mode is enabled such that any CID address can be ignored.
