Serial Ports (USB and UART)
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
The Arduino-Pico core implements a software-based Serial-over-USB port
|
|
using the USB ACM-CDC model to support a wide variety of operating
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
``Serial`` is the USB serial port, and while ``Serial.begin()`` does allow
|
|
specifying a baud rate, this rate is ignored since it is USB-based.
|
|
(Also be aware that this USB ``Serial`` port is responsible for resetting
|
|
the RP2040 during the upload process, following the Arduino standard
|
|
of 1200bps = reset to bootloader).
|
|
|
|
The RP2040 provides two hardware-based UARTS with configurable
|
|
pin selection.
|
|
|
|
``Serial1`` is ``UART0``, and ``Serial2`` is ``UART1``.
|
|
|
|
Configure their pins using the ``setXXX`` calls prior to calling ``begin()``
|
|
|
|
.. code:: cpp
|
|
|
|
Serial1.setRX(pin);
|
|
Serial1.setTX(pin);
|
|
Serial1.begin(baud);
|
|
|
|
