mbed to mbed communication
Hi,
I'm looking into communication between two mbeds, I'm currently thinking using a serial connection (ie. p9 and p10). I cannot use the Ethernet interface as that is already used for something else.
Are there any better ways than serial?
It needs to be able to handle roughly 100,000 bps, and I know the serial can go up higher than that.
Thanks.

If you have structured data, and the potential for more devices, then I might suggest using CAN,
It is capable of sending 8 bytes, in one message block, (to a wide range of destinations configurations)
It is also Multiple Master, Master/slave configurations. and the hardware is very robust, and long connection distances are easy.

For those speeds I would indeed just use serial, easiest solution.

Thanks for the CAN suggestion Ceri, have now read up on it. It does seem like a fuller connection, and easier to have multiple mbeds on.
