Software UART

tedbarth opened this issue · 1 comments

Is it possible to use pi-gpio to create a software UART?
Is the library fast enough?

That would be really cool.
Anyway, great work!

I’ve used the library for communications with about 0.3 millisecond precision and had no problems. Thus my guess is that UART at lower rates is possible, but I’m not sure it’ll be fast enough for what you have in mind.

Also note that this project is effectively abandoned (or at least “on hiatus”).

I’ll close this for now (since it’s not a bug, and I’m afraid there won’t be a more specific answer), but feel free to re-open if you have further questions. And of course feel free to update if you do try a UART implementation.
