A library for the AX-12+ servo using external ICs instead of the SerialHalf-Duplex class

A library based on the AX-12+ library but using external hardware to convert from full to half duplex as suggested in the AX-12 datasheet. The buffers and NOT gate need to connected as shown below.

640

Don't forget the pull-up resistor!
