11  * \brief Serial communication with SPiCboards
12  *
13  * \image html spicboard3_com_small.jpg
14  * The SPiCboard3 can perform serial communication using the three PINs
15  * on its upper right corner (\c TX at \c PD1, \c GND and \c RX at \c PD0 ).
16  * To establish a connection you have to connect its \c RX with \c TX of
17  * another board, both \c GND pins and \c TX with \c RX, like shown on the image
18  * above.
19  *
20  * For the transmission this library uses the transmission setting \c 8-E-1,
21  * in which we send (in addition to the start bit) 8 data bits,
22  * one even parity bit and one stop bit.
23  *
24  * Example: Transmission of the (decimal) value \c 23
25  * \image html com.png
26  * - \c PD0 is configured as input (\c RX)
27  * - \c PD1 is configured as output (\c TX)
28  * - The idle voltage is 5V, a logical high (this is a historic legacy from
29  * telegraphy, in which the line is held high to show that the line and
30  * transmitter are not damaged).
31  * - the transmission begins with the start bit, which changes the level from
32  * logical high (idle) to logical low.
33  * - the time interval \c T for transmitting one symbol is defined by the
34  * \c BAUD_RATE : \f$ T = \frac{1s}{BAUD\_RATE} \f$
35  * - the payload byte is sent bitwise, starting with the least significant bit
36  * - the parity bit ensures that an even number of logical highs has been sent
37  * (including parity - calculated using \c XOR ) - it can be used to detect
38  * transmission errors.
39  * - the stopbit finishes the transmission and leaves the line in a logical high
40  *
41  * \note The libspicboard implementation uses the 16bit <b>timer 4</b>.
42  *
43  * \note For educational purposes the transmission is implemented completely
44  * in software - for more advanced serial communcation you can use
45  * <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_asynchronous_receiver-transmitter">USART</a>,
46  * described in Section 25 of the <a href="Atmel-42397-8-bit-AVR-Microcontroller-ATmega328PB_Datasheet.pdf">ATMega328PB Datasheet</a>.
