As I see it, in order to change an hardware-serial from 8-N-1 to 8-O-1, all I've got to do is adding:
Seems right, unless the library dicks with the register at a later date although
UCSR1C |= B00110000;
is neater.
Is there any equivalent to the SoftwareSerial inverse_logic function in the hardware serial?
No, unless you count using an external inverter.
