Using a Teletype Machine as a USB Printer with Arduino

In a previous episode, Clem mapped the pinout for his 1960 Siemens S100 Teletype. Now it's time to connect it via USB to a modern PC! He'll need to decode its communication protocol and interface it with an Arduino to make that happen.

75Baud 5-Bit Baudot code is quite different from modern ASCII encoding. There are some bumps in the road, like Baudrate calibration and recreating the Serial protocol in Arduino Code.
