Answer 1

Synchronous

Question 2

What type of serial communication relies on start and stop bits for synchronization and defining data frames?

Answer 2

Question 4

What is the dedicated hardware peripheral on the AVR chip for serial communication(

Answer 4

USART-Universal Synchronous and Asynchronous Receiver and Transmitter

Question 5

Why is a DC blocking capacitor required when connecting a speaker to an AVR pin?
