What are the options for using serial ports with Arcade? ---

For now, go to pxt.json, edit as text and add `"serial": "*"` in the list of dependencies. ---

Note that codal’s serial is meant for slow speeds. If you try to run it above 115k (or maybe even at) you may loose some characters. I started working on an alternative high-speed DMA-based interface a while ago, but didn’t get very far - James didn’t like my hack and I didn’t have time to do it properly. See [https://github.com/lancaster-university/codal-samd/pull/25](https://github.com/lancaster-university/codal-samd/pull/25) (this is for SAMD but the same principle would apply on STM) ---

> [@peli](#): > > For now, go to pxt.json, edit as text and add `"serial": "*"` in the list of dependencies. Nice. I was actually curious about this as I would like to use a Wifi module on the edge connector of the meowbit. I looked at the code and was wondering about `SerialDevice internalCreateSerialDevice(DigitalInOutPin tx, DigitalInOutPin rx, int id) { `. Does the `id` indicate it is possible to have more than one serial connection defined? ---

Hi! Do we have some documentation or example(s) for serial usage? @gbraad, I also want to connect Meowbit to WiFi module. If you already did it, can you share your code? I short with time. Thanks. ---

Serial is currently not implemented on stm32. Hopefully I can take a look at it in the next few weeks. ---

Never got around this; focus has been on other stuff due to the situation in China. ---

Can I just remove `15` in arcade.cfg to use the GPIO15 pin for UART0\_RXD, like `BTN_DOWN4=` ? ---

Any update on this? I want to connect KOI AI camera to the meowbit ---

Unfortunately it never happened. PRs are welcome though!
