Hello… I have the Smart Thing Plus Nora W306 which displays 2 UART connections… 0/1 Rx/Tx and 8/9 Rx/Tx… The examples in the arduino ide show softwareserial 17,16 for board RTL8720DF which is what this board is? I’ve tried 0/1 8/9 16/17… all provide a similar error…
Error amb_ard_pin_check_fun. Incorrect pin:X Please check if pin or board is correct…
where X=0,8,16 which ever of the pairs I utilize… I did connect my gps module to an arduino nano esp32 which operates on 3.3v and logic level is 3.3 volts which matches the requirements to this board so i would think my gps module would be able to comunicate over UART… really weird? everything else is working as expectd but I can’t seem to get this function to work properly…?
and now i seemed to have fried the board?
it is not printing to the serial monitor any longer regardless of baud rate selected?
it is printing something blank characters, because the horizontal scroller is growing…
i had a ublox neo-6m gps unit connected to it trying to get gps information into the board… it said it was capable of logic voltage of 3.3 and not 5v and i ran it on a nano esp32 first and it worked so i thought i would be safe here… it was responding until i tried some different Serial commands…?
Serial1.begin(9600,1);
Serial2.begin(9600);
not sure exactly what the issue is but i need wifi 5 and this board is great for that but i need to bring in gps information as well… was hoping to do that through the UART but i couldn’t get it to work at all? if i want gps do i need to get a separate board? its working on my arduino nano esp32 so would i just have to use that to get gps and then use a different communication protocol I2C or BLE to get it to the nora board?
