Grove Software Serial Port
File:TArduinoGroveSoftwareSerial.png
Summary
Grove-connected software serial port providing additional serial communication channels with configurable timing and break signals.
Description
The Grove Software Serial Port component implements a software-based serial communication interface through Grove connectivity. It enables additional serial channels beyond hardware UART limitations, featuring configurable baud rates, timing parameters, and break signal generation. The component supports full-duplex communication with adjustable delays and can be used to connect multiple serial devices to a single microcontroller. Typical applications include sensor data acquisition, peripheral communication, and multi-device systems requiring additional serial interfaces with precise timing control.
