Artemis Redboard + Simultaneous RFID Reader

I’m exploring combing the features of these two powerful modules. From Artemis I’m exploring using AdruinoBLE and combining that with features of the Reader.

I have a challenge.

It seems I don’t have the right code for the Artemis board to program it in Arduino IDE. Specifically there is a library that is not included in the Apollo library. I’m thinking to re-write it and include it in library manually but you know let’s try here first.

Don’t use SoftwarewareSerial with 2.xx versions as they do not have that.

options

Download Sparkfun library 1.21 instead (tools/board/boardsmanager, select Apollo3 and download 1.2.1). This still has SoftSerial.

Don’t use SofwareSerial use Serial1.

The disadvantage is that you need to connect with loose wires as TX1/RX1 are on D1/D0 and no D2/D3.

You will have to adjust the sketch to use Serial1
