#Minitel library for Arduino

This library provides a way to create screens for the [Minitel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minitel) without having to dig into the complexity of the system.

##Schematic
A DIN 45º plug is required to plug the Arduino to the Minitel

##External libraries
This library is using SoftwareSerial, please install it prior to compiling any Minitel sketch.

##Constructor:

Default constructor, using Arduino PINs 6 and 7 for TX/RX
```
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Minitel.h>
Minitel minitel;

void setup() {
}
...
```

Custom constructor using other Arduino PINs for TX/RX
```
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Minitel.h>
Minitel minitel(10, 11);

void setup() {
}
...
```
