Add inverse_logic capability as per SoftwareSerial. #7

I had to add this functionality for the hardware I have, and it seems to work on that. I have not tested it in non-inverse mode!

Thanks for adding a feature!

Have you tried all three baud rates? The changes should have minimal impact on the timing, but you should probably use a second Arduino to try both inverse & normal modes and all 3 baud rates.

If you don't have one, there's a test program (for a Mega) in the test subdirectory. It tries a few different things (all character values, RX only, TX only, TX then RX, RX then TX), with Serial3 connected to the NeoSWSerial port. There is a certain amount of synchronization with this kind of test, so it's not the best. A second Arduino (fully asynchronous) is the only way to catch some timing issues.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. I tested on a 328 with 19200. No spare serial ports, but I also have a 168 board (should be compatible with the 328) so I'll add that to the same #define and connect them together.

Would like to have this feature as well.

I'm concerned about the timing impact at 38400. If it adds too many cycles, the inverse option may have to be selected at compile-time, not passed in as a run-time argument. Sorry I don't have time to test it. @neographikal, is it something you could test?
