/// \class RH_ASK RH_ASK.h <RH_ASK.h>
/// \brief Driver to send and receive unaddressed, unreliable datagrams via inexpensive ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) or 
/// OOK (On Off Keying) RF transceivers.
///
/// The message format and software technology is based on our earlier VirtualWire library 
/// (http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/VirtualWire), with which it is compatible.
/// See http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/VirtualWire.pdf for more details. 
/// VirtualWire is now obsolete and unsupported and is replaced by this library.
///
/// RH_ASK is a Driver for Arduino, Maple and others that provides features to send short
/// messages, without addressing, retransmit or acknowledgment, a bit like UDP
/// over wireless, using ASK (amplitude shift keying). Supports a number of
/// inexpensive radio transmitters and receivers. All that is required is
/// transmit data, receive data and (for transmitters, optionally) a PTT
/// transmitter enable. Can also be used over various analog connections (not just a data radio), 
/// such as the audio channel of an A/V sender, or long TTL lines.
///
/// It is intended to be compatible with the RF Monolithics (www.rfm.com)
/// Virtual Wire protocol, but this has not been tested.
///
/// Does not use the Arduino UART. Messages are sent with a training preamble,
/// message length and checksum. Messages are sent with 4-to-6 bit encoding
/// for good DC balance, and a CRC checksum for message integrity.
///
/// But why not just use a UART connected directly to the
/// transmitter/receiver? As discussed in the RFM documentation, ASK receivers
/// require a burst of training pulses to synchronize the transmitter and
/// receiver, and also requires good balance between 0s and 1s in the message
/// stream in order to maintain the DC balance of the message. UARTs do not
/// provide these. They work a bit with ASK wireless, but not as well as this
/// code.
///
/// \par Theory of operation
///
/// See ASH Transceiver Software Designer's Guide of 2002.08.07
///   http://wireless.murata.com/media/products/apnotes/tr_swg05.pdf
///
/// http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~moon/research/files/cas2_mar_07_dpll.pdf while not directly relevant 
/// is also interesting.
///
/// \par Implementation Details
///
/// Messages of up to RH_ASK_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN (67) bytes can be sent
/// Each message is transmitted as:
///
/// - 36 bit training preamble consisting of 0-1 bit pairs
/// - 12 bit start symbol 0xb38
/// - 1 byte of message length byte count (4 to 30), count includes byte count and FCS bytes
/// - n message bytes (including 4 bytes of header), maximum n is RH_ASK_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN + 4 (64)
/// - 2 bytes FCS, sent low byte-hi byte
///
/// Everything after the start symbol is encoded 4 to 6 bits, Therefore a byte in the message
/// is encoded as 2x6 bit symbols, sent hi nybble, low nybble. Each symbol is sent LSBit
/// first. The message may consist of any binary digits.
/// 
/// The Arduino Diecimila clock rate is 16MHz => 62.5ns/cycle.
/// For an RF bit rate of 2000 bps, need 500microsec bit period.
/// The ramp requires 8 samples per bit period, so need 62.5microsec per sample => interrupt tick is 62.5microsec.
///
/// The maximum packet length consists of
/// (6 + 2 + RH_ASK_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN*2) * 6 = 768 bits = 0.384 secs (at 2000 bps).
/// where RH_ASK_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN is RH_ASK_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN - 7 (= 60).
/// The code consists of an ISR interrupt handler. Most of the work is done in the interrupt
/// handler for both transmit and receive, but some is done from the user level. Expensive
/// functions like CRC computations are always done in the user level.
///
/// \par Supported Hardware
///
/// A range of communications
/// hardware is supported. The ones listed below are available in common retail
/// outlets in Australia and other countries for under $10 per unit. Many
/// other modules may also work with this software. 
///
/// Runs on a wide range of Arduino processors using Arduino IDE 1.0 or later.
/// Also runs on on Energia, 
/// with MSP430G2553 / G2452 and Arduino with ATMega328 (courtesy Yannick DEVOS - XV4Y), 
/// but untested by us. It also runs on Teensy 3.0 (courtesy of Paul
/// Stoffregen), but untested by us. Also compiles and runs on ATtiny85 in
/// Arduino environment, courtesy r4z0r7o3. Also compiles on maple-ide-v0.0.12,
/// and runs on Maple, flymaple 1.1 etc. Runs on ATmega8/168 (Arduino Diecimila,
/// Uno etc), ATmega328 and can run on almost any other AVR8 platform,
/// without relying on the Arduino framework, by properly configuring the
/// library editing the RH_ASK.h header file for describing the access
/// to IO pins and for setting up the timer.
/// Runs on ChipKIT Core supported processors such as Uno32 etc.

/// \par Interoperation with other systems
/// RH_ASK is reported to be supported by RTL-SDR https://www.rtl-sdr.com/tag/rtl_433/
///
/// \par Connecting to Arduino
///
/// Most transmitters can be connected to Arduino like this:
/// \code
/// Arduino                         Transmitter
///  GND------------------------------GND
///  D12------------------------------Data
///  5V-------------------------------VCC
/// \endcode
///
/// Most receivers can be connected to Arduino like this:
/// \code
/// Arduino                         Receiver
///  GND------------------------------GND
///  D11------------------------------Data
///  5V-------------------------------VCC
///                                   SHUT (not connected)
///                                   WAKEB (not connected)
///                                   GND |
///                                   ANT |- connect to your antenna syetem
/// \endcode
///
/// RH_ASK works with ATTiny85, using Arduino 1.0.5 and tinycore from
/// https://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/downloads/detail?name=arduino-tiny-0100-0018.zip
/// Tested with the examples ask_transmitter and ask_receiver on ATTiny85.
/// Caution: The RAM memory requirements on an ATTiny85 are *very* tight. Even the bare bones
/// ask_transmitter sketch barely fits in eh RAM available on the ATTiny85. Its unlikely to work on 
/// smaller ATTinys such as the ATTiny45 etc. If you have wierd behaviour, consider
/// reducing the size of RH_ASK_MAX_PAYLOAD_LEN to the minimum you can work with.
/// Caution: the default internal clock speed on an ATTiny85 is 1MHz. You MUST set the internal clock speed
/// to 8MHz. You can do this with Arduino IDE, tineycore and ArduinoISP by setting the board type to "ATtiny85@8MHz',
/// setting theProgrammer to 'Arduino as ISP' and selecting Tools->Burn Bootloader. This does not actually burn a
/// bootloader into the tiny, it just changes the fuses so the chip runs at 8MHz. 
/// If you run the chip at 1MHz, you will get RK_ASK speeds 1/8th of the expected.
///
/// Initialise RH_ASK for ATTiny85 like this:
/// \code
/// // #include <SPI.h> // comment this out, not needed
/// RH_ASK driver(2000, 4, 3); // 200bps, TX on D3 (pin 2), RX on D4 (pin 3)
/// \endcode
/// then:
/// Connect D3 (pin 2) as the output to the transmitter
/// Connect D4 (pin 3) as the input from the receiver.
///
/// With AtTiny x17 (such as 3217 etc) using Spencer Kondes megaTinyCore, You can initialise like this:
/// RH_ASK driver(2000, 6, 7);
/// which will transmit on digital pin 7 == PB4 == physical pin 12 on Attiny x17
/// and receive on  digital pin 6 == PB5 == physical pin 11 on Attiny x17
/// Uses Timer B1.
///
/// With AtTiny x16 (such as 3216 etc) using Spencer Kondes megaTinyCore, You can initialise like this:
/// RH_ASK driver(2000, 11, 12);
/// which will transmit on digital pin 12 == PC2 == physical pin 14 on Attiny x16
/// and receive on  digital pin 11 == PC1 == physical pin 13 on Attiny x16
/// Uses Timer B1.
///
/// With AtTiny x14 (such as 1614 etc) using Spencer Kondes megaTinyCore, You can initialise like this:
/// RH_ASK driver(2000, 6, 7);
/// which will transmit on digital pin 7 == PB0 == physical pin 9 on Attiny x14
/// and receive on  digital pin 6 == PB1 == physical pin 8 on Attiny x16
/// Uses Timer B1.
///
/// For testing purposes you can connect 2 Arduino RH_ASK instances directly, by
/// connecting pin 12 of one to 11 of the other and vice versa, like this for a duplex connection:
///
/// \code
/// Arduino 1         wires         Arduino 1
///  D11-----------------------------D12
///  D12-----------------------------D11
///  GND-----------------------------GND
/// \endcode
///
/// You can also connect 2 RH_ASK instances over a suitable analog
/// transmitter/receiver, such as the audio channel of an A/V transmitter/receiver. You may need
/// buffers at each end of the connection to convert the 0-5V digital output to a suitable analog voltage.
///
/// Measured power output from RFM85 at 5V was 18dBm.
///
/// \par ESP8266
/// This module has been tested with the ESP8266 using an ESP-12 on a breakout board 
/// ESP-12E SMD Adaptor Board with Power Regulator from tronixlabs 
/// http://tronixlabs.com.au/wireless/esp8266/esp8266-esp-12e-smd-adaptor-board-with-power-regulator-australia/
/// compiled on Arduino 1.6.5 and the ESP8266 support 2.0 installed with Board Manager.
/// CAUTION: do not use pin 11 for IO with this chip: it will cause the sketch to hang. Instead
/// use constructor arguments to configure different pins, eg:
/// \code
/// RH_ASK driver(2000, 2, 4, 5);
/// \endcode
/// Which will initialise the driver at 2000 bps, recieve on GPIO2, transmit on GPIO4, PTT on GPIO5.
/// Caution: on the tronixlabs breakout board, pins 4 and 5 may be labelled vice-versa.
///
/// \par Timers
/// The RH_ASK driver uses a timer-driven interrupt to generate 8 interrupts per bit period. RH_ASK
/// takes over a timer on Arduino-like platforms. By default it takes over Timer 1. You can force it
/// to use Timer 2 instead by enabling the define RH_ASK_ARDUINO_USE_TIMER2 near the top of RH_ASK.cpp
/// On Arduino Zero it takes over timer TC3. On Arduino Due it takes over timer
/// TC0. On ESP8266, takes over timer0 (which conflicts with ServoTimer0).
///
/// Caution: ATTiny85 has only 2 timers, one (timer 0) usually used for
/// millis() and one (timer 1) for PWM analog outputs. The RH_ASK Driver
/// library, when built for ATTiny85, takes over timer 0, which prevents use
/// of millis() etc but does permit analog outputs. This will affect the accuracy of millis() and time
/// measurement.
///
/// \par  STM32 F4 Discovery with Arduino and Arduino_STM32
/// You can initialise the driver like this:
/// \code
/// RH_ASK driver(2000, PA3, PA4);
/// \endcode
/// and connect the serial to pins PA3 and PA4
