Great idea Christian! What kind of API do you need to make this work?
I think these might get things started:
nxt.RS485SetParam( speed, parity, databits, stopbits )
nxt.RS485SendData( string, bytes )
string = nxt.RS485GetData( bytes )
status = nxt.RS485GetStatus()
I'm open to suggestions. Do we need to set the number of bytes to
expect? Probably not.
Send and receive under interrupts and DMA, probably.
Need to read into a buffer, and keep track of TX status so we don't
flood the transmitter.
Comments?
