/* Class: SerialHalfDuplex
 * A serial port (UART) for communication with other devices using  
 * Half-Duplex, allowing transmit and receive on a single
 * shared transmit and receive line. Only one end should be transmitting 
 * at a time.
 * 
 * Both the tx and rx pin should be defined, and wired together. 
 * This is in addition to them being wired to the other serial 
 * device to allow both read and write functions to operate.
 *
 *  Example:
 *  > // Send a byte to a second HalfDuplex device, and read the response
 *  >
 *  > #include "mbed.h"
 *  >
 *  > // p9 and p10 should be wired together to form "a"
 *  > // p28 and p27 should be wired together to form "b"
 *  > // p9/p10 should be wired to p28/p27 as the Half Duplex connection
 *  >
 *  > SerialHalfDuplex a(p9, p10);
 *  > SerialHalfDuplex b(p28, p27);
 *  >
 *  > void b_rx() { // second device response
 *  >     b.putc(b.getc() + 4);
 *  > }
 *  >   
 *  > int main() {
 *  >     b.attach(&b_rx);
 *  >     for(int c = 'A'; c < 'Z'; c++) {
 *  >         a.putc(c);
 *  >         printf("sent [%c]\n", c);
 *  >         wait(0.5);   // b should respond
 *  >         if(a.readable()) {
 *  >             printf("received [%c]\n", a.getc());
 *  >         }
 *  >     }
 *  > }
