software serial #330

Closed aferraz closed 7 years ago

aferraz commented 7 years ago

@arendst, it's possible to add the ability to read from a serial port (software serial) ? For example use the sonoff or electrodragon to read from a modbus device like a Power Energy Meter

Thanks Alessandro

the sonoff dual does use the serial port, so it is possible. The question is going to be how useful the code would be vs the size of the code. If it's a common device, it could be arguably useful enough to add the code to the common image.

If it's a less common device, it may still be possible to include the code contributed by someone if it's disabled by default (with an ifdef like other things are) k
