Odd and Even Parity exchanged

[CloseToTheEdge]

Test Version: 6.8.3, 6.7.0
Test Parameter:
SWSERIAL_7O2 == 7 Bit Even Parity
SWSERIAL_7E2 == 7 Bit Odd Parity

If you want this to be looked into, one may ask a little more diligence in reporting from you. I am rather convinced that I tested quite a few more data/parity/stop combinations between EspSoftwareSerial and ESP8266 HW serial.

Dear @CloseToTheEdge, I appreciate the fact that you found this bug, I just equally wish, you had provided more background, like testing more of the modes. The HW serial API in ESP8266/ESP32 disregards parity on RX, so testing against those turns out has been futile previously. I finally found some time to test in depth, and I've found the cause and I am about to fix it.

Still the same Problem: Version 6.8.5

SoftwareSerial swSer;
swSer.begin(1200, SWSERIAL_7O2, D2, D1, false, 256, 256);
TX sends over D1 EVEN parity instead of ODD.

SWSERIAL_7E2 sends ODD parity

(RX not tested)

Are you certain? Have you read the README, in particular the section titled Using and updating EspSoftwareSerial in the esp8266com/esp8266 Arduino build environment?

The fixed EspSoftwareSerial is now part of Arduino core for ESP8266 git master, and pending release, in version 2.7.2 of that.
