Using RTS/CTS flow control

[indefinit]

Hi there,

I noticed in the source the tinyg object initializes a 'RTSCTS' default but I'm not clear on how to actually use this flow control in an application. Also, in the tinyg documentation it mentions XON/XOFF for software flow control. In the case of using this library, is RTS/CTS the preferred flow control technique? Thanks for your help in advance!

Always leave RTS on and then use this method of Queue Reports for managing buffers https://github.com/synthetos/TinyG/wiki/Flow-Control-and-Footers#additional-flow-control-options-available-in-edge-branch Basically if you just rely on RTS then the host USB buffer is going to get "filled" once that happens the job will run just fine but if you need to feed hold or something like that it will NOT execute until the USB host buffer has been emptied and sent to TinyG. Hence we use the QR method.
