Hi,
I am using an Arduino MKR1500 with a fingerprint sensor and a VESC. Since both these devices need TX and RX pin, I wanted to know can I make changes in the fingerprint sensor to talk to a different IO pin on the arduino (which will act like TX, RX)? Also what changes do i need to do in the library to make sure that both these devices are able to communicate with the arduino without any issues?

For ATSAMD21 processors like the one in the MKR1500, you can create additional serial ports via SERCOM.
