Software Uart for AVR microcontroller tested on 1200 baud rate

Here is copy and paste code for Software UART. In many system design, we need more than one serial communication like GSM module and BT module. To connect these module with a single microcontroller, we need two UART port which is generally not available in AVR microcontroller. I could not found any code while Searching for Software UART code in google. So,i made software uart code for myself. Now, i am share this code so you need not to suffer from it. Following are the copy and paste code for you.

Above code is made for avr microcontroller and its crystal 12Mhz. for any doubt, ask me in comment below.
