## Raspberry Pi Python Software Serial

A very simple raspberry pi software serial library made with python and pigpio.

### Installation

The installation is very simple you just need to have pigpio installed which can be installed with this command:

```Bash

sudo apt install python3-pigpio pigpio -y

```

After that just copy the library to your project and give the file a name (e.g. `softwareserial.py`).

### Usage

The usage is very simple you just impot it into your script set the parameters and you are ready. Here is an example:

```Python

from softwareserial import softwareSerial

serial = softwareSerial(txd_pin=17, rxd_pin=27, baudrate=9600)

serial.write("hello world!")

message = serial.read()

print(message)

```

The library uses custom new line and end of line indicators which can be changed like so:

```Python

serial = softwareSerial(txd_pin=17, rxd_pin=27, baudrate=9600, new="/n", eol="/n")

```

Furthermore you can change the read timeout like so:

```Python

serial = softwareSerial(txd_pin=17, rxd_pin=27, baudrate=9600, new="/n", eol="/n", timeout=15)

```
