PiGPIO Library Example for Bit-Banging a UART
Here is some Python I used to test the reliability of software serial. The input side is fairly trivial. You just make the appropriate bit bang serial open calls in Python or C. The output side is ...

Bit waveform clarification
To me it looks like ser.write(1) has an implicit conversion to string. So your 1 becomes a "1" which is 00110001, which perfectly fits into your observation.
