Software Uart / Software Serial library

I just needed to connect three UARTs to my ESP8266 so I wrote a small library to "Bitbang" data over the GPIO's to my connected UARTS.

I made a github repo if anybody is interested:
https://github.com/plieningerweb/esp8266-software-uart

This is my very first project on ESP8266, so I am very happy about every feedback/issues/pull requests :)

Thanks for Sharing

How difficult will it be to add a 9th bit to the serial string which can be programatically controlled (Like mark and space parity)

Regards

Nice. It is very useful for debugging UART modules such as BlueTooth(BLE) .

@iwalker:Thanks :) I think it is not really complicated to add one more bit to the communication.
but so far I had no need for it.

you can make a pull request, if you implemented it and I will merge it :)
