MPLabX Simulator UART I/O Plug-in

This is a plug-in for MPLabX v4.20, which support basic UART reading and injection. The plug-in reads and writes to socket 5556, and allow interaction with the developer's platform of choice for simulating peripherals (Modem, GPS, etc.) The possibilities are endless!

The majority of the code is under src/Uart.java, but if you wish to implement your own SFRObservers, then you'll want to look under src/UartObserver.java
