Comments on: New Year Treat: NewSoftSerial 10 http://arduiniana.org/2010/01/newsoftserial-10/ Arduino wisdom and gems by Mikal Hart Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:22:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Murray http://arduiniana.org/2010/01/newsoftserial-10/comment-page-1/#comment-1720 Murray Wed, 03 Feb 2010 07:51:22 +0000 http://arduiniana.org/?p=597#comment-1720 You could always use the 7404 hex inverter chip to invert the signals for testing purposes... Btw nice reverse geocache project, I built one on the weekend I'm going to give it to my partner for valentines day. I actually considered implementing a low voltage cut off on there and a small solar panel to recharge the battery. I also wrote a configuration mode where you enter a 4 digit pin and it will open the box or close it depending on what pin it is, as for a double backup in case of component failure I may expose the servo cables so I can generate a pwm and open it manually! good ideas with the scary messages!

You're using TX only? Hmm.... I'll check to see if I can find any "smoking gun" for that init problem. Thanks again! Mikal @Kalle–

I tested inverted signaling with couple old Matrix orbital displays. They seem to work fine. I have some minor hickup when immedeatly after initialicing connection I send clear display code to Matrox. First attempt does not work as expected so I need to do it twice to succeed. After that it works as advertised. Tried with some delays but no efect. Might be my or some funny early bits traveling wrong way around on initial transmit? -kalle Thank you for this library.
