/*
    This example shows how to use the new callback system. In the old system
    Mbed's FunctionPointer[1] type was used to store abd make calls to callbacks.
    However, that limits the callback function prototype to void func(void);
    which means we cannot pass parameters.
    
    This latest version of MODSERIAL now uses its own callback object. This allows
    the passing of a pointer to a class that holds information about the MODSERIAL
    object making the callback. As of version 1.18 one critcal piece of information
    is passed, a pointer to the MODSERIAL object. This allows callbacks to use the
    MODSERIAL functions and data.
        
    Additionally, since MODSERIAL and the callback parameter class MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO
    are friends, MODSERIAL_IRQ_INFO can access the protected functions of MODSERIAL.
    This is used to ensure functions that can only be called during a callback
    can be invoked from a callback.

    // info->serial points at the MODSERIAL instance so we can use it to call
    // any of the public MODSERIAL functions that are normally available. So
    // there's now no need to use the global version (pc in our case) inside
    // callback functions.    
    char c = pc->rxGetLastChar(); // Where local pc variable is a pointer to the global MODSERIAL pc object.
    
    // The following is rather daft but demos the point.
    // Don't allow the letter "A" go into the RX buffer.
    // Basically acts as a filter to remove the letter "A" 
    // if it goes into the RX buffer.
