serial port

Post by PandaTheOne » Wed Jul 19, 2017 7:34 pm

hey guys!

I have a new question for you! I thought I had a good idea to use bluetooth with the micro:bit. Really simple! I just have to buy a transceiver bluetooth and communicate by UART! So then I have a problem. My transceiver use UART to communicate with other device. I though that micro:bit uses the same but it seems that it use the micro usb for serial transmission.
So my question is : Do you know if I buy a transceiver UART to micro USB if the transmission will works?

thanks a lot for your help!

You can re-configure the UART to use it on any of the other pins, but then you won't be able to use the REPL console through the USB.

Thanks! I didn't see that I just have to name the pin I want to use!
