+// UART.C
+//
+// Generic software uart written in C, requiring a timer set to 3 times
+// the baud rate, and two software read/write pins for the receive and
+// transmit functions.
+//
+// * Received characters are buffered
+// * putchar(), getchar(), kbhit() and flush_input_buffer() are available
+// * There is a facility for background processing while waiting for input
+//
+// Colin Gittins, Software Engineer, Halliburton Energy Services
+//
+// The baud rate can be configured by changing the BAUD_RATE macro as
+// follows:
+//
+// #define BAUD_RATE 19200.0
+//
+// The function init_uart() must be called before any comms can take place
+//
+// Interface routines required:
+// 1. get_rx_pin_status()
+// Returns 0 or 1 dependent on whether the receive pin is high or low.
+// 2. set_tx_pin_high()
+// Sets the transmit pin to the high state.
+// 3. set_tx_pin_low()
+// Sets the transmit pin to the low state.
+// 4. idle()
+// Background functions to execute while waiting for input.
+// 5. timer_set( BAUD_RATE )
+// Sets the timer to 3 times the baud rate.
+// 6. set_timer_interrupt( timer_isr )
+// Enables the timer interrupt.
+//
+// Functions provided:
+// 1. void flush_input_buffer( void )
+// Clears the contents of the input buffer.
+// 2. char kbhit( void )
+// Tests whether an input character has been received.
+// 3. char getchar( void )
+// Reads a character from the input buffer, waiting if necessary.
+// 4. void turn_rx_on( void )
+// Turns on the receive function.
+// 5. void turn_rx_off( void )
+// Turns off the receive function.
+// 6. void putchar( char )
+// Writes a character to the serial port.
