No1sonuk Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Please read the whole thing before answering... Would DCS-BIOS disrupt a software serial transmitter (only need transmission)? The situation is that I'm working on "de-glitching" some OLED number displays, specifically the two in the altimeter. I think there may be some kind of conflict caused by DCS-BIOS running on the same Arduino as the display driver, so I want to separate them. I've written code for the receiver to use the hardware UART, but that's obviously a problem for the PC connection. So, what I want is an Arduino to transmit just the 7 numbers (14 bytes) representing the altimeter digit positions to my display arduino. I know a Mega could probably do it with a hardware UART, but I'd rather use a smaller device if I can. So, would a software serial port work? Would interrupts need to be turned off first? Any ideas before I try it?
No1sonuk Posted May 23, 2020 Author Posted May 23, 2020 For future reference: I tried it and it DOES work. At least transmission does, and that's all I needed.
