Does anyone know if the itsy bitsy 32u4 (5V) support SoftwareSerial ports ?
If so, which pins can be used ?

Re: itsy bitsy 32u4 SoftwareSerial ?
The standard softwareserial library supports the atmega168 / atmega328, but. not the 32u4.
You could use hardware serial on the RX/TX pins of the 32u4 as there is an extra hardware UART on pin 0 and 1.

Re: itsy bitsy 32u4 SoftwareSerial ?
With Arduino, the ATmega32u4 hardware serial port on pins 0 and 1 are addressed as Serial1, e.g.
Works MUCH better than SoftwareSerial!
Code: Select all
Serial1.begin(115200);
