MKS 979B Atmosphere to Vacuum Transducer driver

Intro

A Platform agnostic, no_std, serial communication driver for the MKS 979B Atmosphere to Vacuum Transducer, based on the embedded-hal traits.

• Implements the RS485/RS232 communication protocol specification for the MKS 979B
• Works in standalone use and via MKS PDR 900 Series controllers.

Status

The driver is technically complete, but some further testing is required for some commands as to verify nothing behaves in a weird way. All commands for the 979B Transducer are implemented. PDR 900 commands are out of scope for this crate.

Usage

An simple blinky example is provided for the ItsyBitsy_m4. The API is quite straight forward.

Why not use type states for the query functionality?

Type states were considered at some point but it sacrifices some comfiness in certain use-cases. This just means the user must make sure the sequence schedule_message-send_message-poll is correctly followed.
