UART stands for Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter.
UART (Universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter) is responsible for performing the main task in serial communications with computers. This device changes incoming parallel information to serial data which can be sent to communication line. UART is capable of encapsulating a byte that might be 5, 6, 7 or 8 bits wide in start and stop bits. Moreover it can attach an extra parity bit with the data for error detection. The width of stop bits may also vary. UART performs all the tasks, timing, parity checking, etc. needed for the communication.

What is a game port for a joystick
🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/21
A game port is a socket on a game console or a computer for a joystick, flight controller, or paddle controls. Older game ports tended to have DB-9 or DB-15 connectors. However, newer consoles have their own style connectors.
On game consoles and older home computers, it was a socket that came with the device. On PCs in XT or AT cases, it was usually a part of a 3rd-party sound card, and the socket could also be used for MIDI with the right adapters. Some older PCs in ATX cases had built-in game ports.
