I am working on building a pair of arduino-based devices which will send text messages to each other using xbee modules. (Like walkie talkies, only they'll send text messages back and forth).
I was originally going to use a 4x20 LCD screen, but the OLED graphic display looks like it would be much better in terms of power consumption, portability, and number of characters I could display. The one problem I'm concerned with is that both the Xbee and the OLED display use the Serial.print command to send messages. Is there a simple way I can use both of these devices and specify whether the 'Serial' commands should go to the display or the xbees?
