        As long as one understands the implications of using a non interrupt method
you shouldn't have a problem with doing it without interrupts. I for one
regularly send without using interrupts, so this should be no problem, if
you handle it correctly. The big area of concern is receiving, without
interrupts you'll have to ensure that you query the UART often enough to
ensure you don't lose any characters, otherwise you'll have to make sure
lossing characters is OK in your codes point of view. TTYL.
