Full function details for AltSoftSerial

Projects Programming
1

I'm trying to work with AltSoftSerial, and the (minimal) function details at prcj.com don't seem to show ALL the functions available. When I begin some code like: "MyPort dot" under the cursor a list of possible functions to complete the code appears - and there must be 25 or more functions shown!

prcj.com only shows 5 - I would like to find some listing of the full set of functions.

I have gone to MySensors.org, and see they have provided a nice doxygen page that shows all the many functions - but there are no details of what the functions expect as params, and what the may return.

So frustrating - all this great OpenSource software out there and little or no useful docs. :frowning:

Any clues where I might find some USEFUL docs on AltSoftSerial? I HAVE visited all the easy to find Google refs - and they don't give any answers.

Have you determined which of those are public, and which are private? Do you understand the difference?

You'll also note in AltSoftSerial.h that it inherits from the Stream class:

class AltSoftSerial : public Stream
{

So, a study of the methods available from Stream might be useful.

and so on...
