I need to use the Serial2 hardware UART on the Boron. The documentation explicitly references the existence of hardware Serial2 and even includes the otherwise extraneous detail that the input buffer therefor is 128 bytes and immutable.
Because of the above, Serial2 must exist and be somehow accessible, or else this specific information would not be in Particle Boron documentation.
But I have found zero results in this forum nor on Google how to use it, that is, to which pins Serial2 RX/TX are mapped, and if any other special considerations are necessary.
If this is attributable to my ignorance or flawed information-finding skills, then I apologize. But it is very useful to have multiple Serial ports and frankly I am surprised that I seem to be the first to ask the question. It would impose undue development strain on my system if an unavailable Serial2 on Boron required me to use SPI or I2C instead. These are just 4 different 32-byte packets streamed every 0.5 seconds to my Boron which Iād like to have remotely streamed over MQTT when remotely enabled for such streaming, and ignored at all other times.
Serial1 input is already occupied by my core-competency one-minutely 132-byte-packets which I upload. I am using the Boron solely as an LTE internet gateway. I have a separate MCU actually collecting sensor data and streaming to Boron over Serial. Trust me that in my particular case/application, there are good reasons for this separation and not attempting to have the Boron continuously poll sensors.
- Is Serial2 accessible on the Boron?
- If so, what pins are RX/TX?
- If so, are there any special considerations beyond simply creating a UART object as with Serial1?
Thank you in advance.
