Bonezegei SoftSerial
Batutay, Jofel · 2023/10/27

Bonezegei_SoftSerial is an Arduino library that allows you to create a software serial port on any digital pin. It supports the most common baud rate 9600. This library can be used to interact with devices like sensors, modules, and other microcontrollers that need a serial interface. Bonezegei_SoftSerial handles both reading and writing data and is compatible with the default Arduino Serial library.

1. Receive Only

/*  
  Bonezegei Software Serial Recieve Only
  Author: Bonezegei (Jofel Batutay)
  Date: August 2023 
  Frame format: 8 bit word 1 Stop bit
  NOTE : the Receive function is not interrupt based 
         use separate device for Uart receiver or transmitter
*/
#include <Bonezegei_SoftSerial.h>
/*
param1 =  RX
Receive pin declaration
DO NOT use the write functions like write, print and println since the pin for write is not properly initialized
*/
Bonezegei_SoftSerial SoftSerial(16);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  SoftSerial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  if (SoftSerial.available()) {
    int ch = SoftSerial.read();
    Serial.write(ch);
  }
}

2. Send Only

/*
  Bonezegei Software Serial Send Only
  Author: Bonezegei (Jofel Batutay)
  Date: September 2023 
  Frame format: 8 bit word 1 Stop bit
  Do not use receive function when using send only mode
*/

#include <Bonezegei_SoftSerial.h>

/*
A Huge Thanks to JCWren on github for pointing this out
Send Only Mode
param1 =  RX pin (set to negative value to enable TX only mode)
param2 =  TX pin 
*/
Bonezegei_SoftSerial SoftSerial(-1 , 16);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  SoftSerial.begin(9600);
  SoftSerial.print("Hello World\n");
}

void loop() {
}

3. Send and Receive

/*
   Bonezegei Software Serial
  Author: Bonezegei (Jofel Batutay)
  Date: August 2023 
  Frame format: 8 bit word 1 Stop bit
  Simple Send and Receive
  NOTE : the Receive function is not interrupt based 
         use separate device for Uart receiver or transmitter
*/

#include <Bonezegei_SoftSerial.h>

/*
param1 =  RX
param2 =  TX
*/
Bonezegei_SoftSerial SoftSerial(16, 15);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  SoftSerial.begin(9600);
  SoftSerial.println("UART Test");
}


void loop() {
  if (SoftSerial.available()) {
    int ch = SoftSerial.read();
    Serial.write(ch);
  }
  if (Serial.available()) {
    int ch = Serial.read();
    SoftSerial.write(ch);
  }
}
