I had to check quick at a gas station and post this.

For the most part, I took away 27kbps, and it seems the intention is software bit bang.

Sure, it’s not master/slave like LIN, and with an arbitration scheme more like CAN. But, without hardware codec, DMA buffering and interrupts, I feel it’s a lot less useful to me as my embedded projects are already pushing their limits with hardware communication.

Still, while it’s not good for me, I do see utility in a bit bang format for LED, IR, simple RF, etc. This makes sense and seems well thought out.
