What risks are there in transmitting a very long, continuous data stream.?
E
I can't relate your question to any real-time problem. For instance, I have been sent data from a 8 bit microcontroller to a personal computer using UART over RS-232, with the configuration of 8 data bits, no pairty but , a baud rate of 9600, and a cable length of 1.5 meters.

I’m not sure how this connects to your question about the risks of transmitting a very long, continuous data stream.

Could you please relate your question to this project or provide more specific details, so I can try to answer it better? Also, let me know if you need any further information from my side.

Here’s a question I believe is more competent than the one you mentioned. How would you answer it?

A device needs to exchange data with the outside world. What are some industry standard options for doing this and how would you choose from among them for this device?

hi Kittu,
It is a question you may be asked during an interview.

Consider the requirement of continuous synchronisation of the senders MCU clock and the receiver's MCU clock.???

On your second note, the fact you have used a 1.5mtr cable has no bearing on what is considered as the maximum workable cable length between the TX and RX points.

Again this is a question often asked.

Keep in mind that as the interview progresses the questions you will be asked will be partially determined by how well you answer earlier questions.
