Question: Hardware flow control?

marcuschangarm commented 7 years ago

Hi @betzw,

I was wondering why you have not enabled hardware flow control in the serial driver? I was under the impression that the SPWF01SA supported flow control?

Thank you!

So, it goes:

BufferedSerial -> RawSerial -> SerialBase

Inside SerialBase, you'll find this command:

    /** Set the flow control type on the serial port
     *
     *  @param type the flow control type (Disabled, RTS, CTS, RTSCTS)
     *  @param flow1 the first flow control pin (RTS for RTS or RTSCTS, CTS for CTS)
     *  @param flow2 the second flow control pin (CTS for RTSCTS)
     */
    void set_flow_control(Flow type, PinName flow1=NC, PinName flow2=NC);

Ciao @marcuschangarm, thanks a lot for this precious input. Will try to support HW flow control asap!

I have just added the support for HW flow control.
