Arduino 1.0 Software Serial examples not working

Projects Programming

Hi Guys,

Strangely the embedded software serial library in arduino 1.0 is not working for me and i can´t find the reason.

If i use the simplest example the TX port pin should send Data to the RX port pin.
The TX port is sending the data, but for some reason RX port is not triggering or is not receiving.

Does anyone has ideas that can help me or had the same problem?

Does anyone has ideas

Post code?

Post code?

I second this, and add that you need to describe what is sending the data to the software serial port pins.

Hi here is the code.
It´s almost the same as the simplest example presented with the library.

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(2, 3);

void setup()  
{
  pinMode(2,INPUT);
  pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
  
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("Goodnight moon!");

  // set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  mySerial.println("Hello, world?");
  
  delay(1000);
}

void loop() // run over and over
{
  if (mySerial.available()){
    Serial.println(".");
    Serial.write(mySerial.read());
  }
  if (Serial.available())
    mySerial.write(Serial.read());
}

I have one wire that connects port 2 to 3.
And basically nothing happens
