Extra serial port on crowduino (solved)?

NB-IoT
#1

I’m using a SODAQ N211 shield on a crowduino mcu board. For an application I need an extra serial port. I’ve tested two options:

  • Including the Arduino SoftwareSerial library doesn’t (isn’t supported on a M0)
  • defining “serial2” also doens’t work despite the fact that the SAMD has 6 SERCOM devices.

Any suggestions for how to create the extra serial port?

Hi @felixdonkers

You need to modify the variant files in order to use more sercoms for uart
I Windows these can be found here:
