Arduino - SoftwareSerialExample

Reference Language | Libraries | Comparison | Changes

This is a very basic example of SoftwareSerial. It reads in a byte at a time and mirrors it back to you:

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(2, 3);

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(57600);
Serial.println("Goodnight moon!");

// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
mySerial.begin(4800);
mySerial.println("Hello, world?");
}

void loop() // run over and over
{
if (mySerial.available())
Serial.write(mySerial.read());
if (Serial.available())
mySerial.write(Serial.read());
}
