Hi,
While the UART is initialised automatically if D29/30 are connected, you can do it manually (on any pins) with
Serial1.setup(9600,{rx:..., tx:...})
- and if you manually set the pin to do something else withdigitalRead(rxpin);digitalRead(txpin)
then that should automatically turn it off - saving power.
I have a GSM800 module that is only to send one sms per day. It has its own battery and is turned on and off by mosfet and a output pin.
I am reading you don't get a Serial port if nothing is connected at startup to D29/29 on the Puck..Does this mean the serial port must stay active using the oscillator the whole day, or can I turn it on and off at will?
Thanks
