mkay, made some progress at 160 baud. The code isn't quite ready for 1892 however (never synchs up). Might need to get more specific with the baud rates (or possibly the outbound uart code is piggy or the new arduino timer code is and has to be neutered again).

here is an arduino script that uses an aldl signal tied to pin2 and pin3 and converts it to a byte stream @57600 baud. two bytes per aldl character to preserve the synch character

PHP Code:

//aldl to serial adapter
//converts 9 bit aldl stream to integers over serial port.
extern volatile unsigned long timer0_overflow_count;

volatile byte lastbit=255; //positive is a one, negative is a zero, 0 is already processed
volatile long falllength = 0;
volatile long riselength = 0;

void falling(){ 
  riselength= timer0_overflow_count;
  timer0_overflow_count=0;
  lastbit= falllength>riselength?1:0;
}

void rising(){
  falllength = timer0_overflow_count;
  timer0_overflow_count=0;
}

void setup(){                    // run once, when the sketch starts
  attachInterrupt(0, falling,FALLING );
  attachInterrupt(1, rising,RISING );
  Serial.begin(57600);
}


byte synched = 0;
int onecount=0;
int bf=0;
byte bp=8;

void loop(){
  byte lb=255;
  while (lb == 255){
//    cli();
    lb=lastbit;
//    sei();
  }
//  cli();
  lastbit=255;
//  sei();
  
  if(synched==0){
    if(lb==0){
      if(onecount>=9){
        synched=1;
        Serial.print((char)1);//repeat the synch sequence for the client
        Serial.print((char)255);
      }else
        onecount=0;
    }else
      onecount++;
  }
  
  if(synched==1){//ok, we are synched
    bf=bf|lb << bp;
    bp--;
    if(bp ==255){//we have 9 bits worth, send it over the port
       Serial.print((char)(bf>255?1:0));
       Serial.print((char)(bf));
       bf=0;
       bp=8;
    }   

  }
} 


Here is the arduino test script (I run it on a second arduino and run its pin 13 to the aldluino's pins 2 and 3), ground pin 12 and reset to simulate 8192-ish baud

PHP Code:

//test script for aldluino
#define sigpin 13
#define baudpin 12

/*   from http://www.techedge.com.au/vehicle/aldl160/aldl160b.htm
 T0-T1 = B = 0.5 mSec.
 T1-T3 = C = 4.75 mSec.
 T3-T4 = E = 1.0 mSec.
 T0-T4 = total = 6.25 mSec 
*/
int low0=500;
int high0=5750;
int low1=5250;
int high1=1000;


void setup(){ 
  pinMode(baudpin,INPUT);
  digitalWrite(baudpin,HIGH);
  if(digitalRead(baudpin)==LOW){//set up 8192
    low0=10;
    high0=112;
    low1=103;
    high1=19;
  }
  pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
  cli();
}


void sendch(int ch){//send out the msb 9 'bits'
    for(int p=8;p>=0;p--){
      int b=ch&1<<p;
      digitalWrite(sigpin,LOW);
      long d = b==0?low0:low1;
      delayMicroseconds(d);
      digitalWrite(sigpin,HIGH);
      d = b==0?high0:high1;
      delayMicroseconds(d);
    }  
}




void loop(){
//cycle through sending 511 (synch), then an ascending odd number followed by a descending even
  sendch(511);
  for(int x = 1;x <=255; x+=2){
    sendch(x);
    sendch(255-x);
  }
} 


Here is a bit of java to read the serial data and print it in hex format

PHP Code:

import gnu.io.CommPortIdentifier;
import gnu.io.SerialPort;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class Serial {
    static InputStream input;
    static OutputStream output;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        CommPortIdentifier portId = CommPortIdentifier
            .getPortIdentifier("COM6");
        SerialPort port = (SerialPort) portId.open("serial madness", 4000);
        input = port.getInputStream();
        output = port.getOutputStream();
        port.setSerialPortParams(57600,
                SerialPort.DATABITS_8, SerialPort.STOPBITS_1,
                SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
        int i=0;
        while (true) {
            i=input.read();
            while(i == -1)
                i=input.read();
            System.out.print(Integer.toHexString(i));
            i=input.read();
            while(i == -1)
                i=input.read();
            System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(i));
        }

    }
} 


Here is a little bit of output from the java program, you can see the synch character 1ff here generated from the test arduino through the aldluino
