TashTalk v1.x Prototype Details
===============================

Raspberry Pi
------------
A Raspberry Pi 3 Model B was used. Note that these instructions are specific to this model and may differ for other models.
### UART Setup
#### raspi-config
Under `Interface Options` > `Serial Port`, answer "No" to "Would you like a login shell to be accessible over serial?" and then "Yes" to "Would you like the serial port hardware to be enabled?".
#### /boot/config.txt
Add the following lines:
* `dtoverlay=miniuart-bt`
* Ordinarily, the Bluetooth device uses the PL011 UART (/dev/ttyAMA0); this line forces it to use the mini-UART instead. We want the PL011 UART available because it's the only one that supports hardware flow control.
* `gpio=16-17=a3`
* This line switches GPIO16 and GPIO17 to be CTS and RTS for hardware flow control.

Driver/Receiver
---------------
While the LocalTalk bus is half-duplex, LocalTalk and PhoneNet dongles use a hybrid transformer to accommodate the SCC's separate TxD and RxD lines. Because a PhoneNet dongle was used for the prototype, a pair of SN65HVD08 were used, one as a receiver and one as a driver.
Other RS-422/485 drivers may be suitable, but it is important to experimentally verify that their receivers output a logic '1' when the bus is not being driven.
