Freddie,

Use Interrupt to detect low going START BIT.

Wait 1/2 Bit period

If BIT still low then start BIT is valid

If valid, wait 1 BIT period and read data BIT (x 8)

wait 1 final BIT period and read BIT. If high then STOP BIT is valid - Word
is OK

To improve reliability, you can sample quickly multiple times at sample
points. ie. say sample 3 times at 8 times BIT rate and 2 out of the 3
samples indicate valid state.

David Huisman
