/// \par Overview
///     This uart library emulates the operation of a UART (serial port) using
/// the AVR's hardware timers, I/O pins, and some software.
///
/// Specifically, this code uses:
///     -Timer 1 Output Compare A for transmit timing
///     -Timer 1 Output Compare B for receive timing
///     -Timer 1 Input Capture for receive triggering
///
/// The above resources cannot be used for other purposes while this software
/// UART is enabled.  The overflow interrupt from Timer1 can still be used for
/// other timing, but the prescaler for Timer1 must not be changed.
///
/// Serial output from this UART can be routed to any I/O pin.  Serial input
/// for this UART must come from the Timer1 Input Capture (IC1) I/O pin.
/// These options should be configured by editing your local copy of
/// "uartswconf.h".
