ArduinoBT Serial in (not from PC)

Hi Gang,
I have an ArduinoBT and I'd like to be able to read serial data from other devices. For example, I have a barcode reader that outputs asynchronous serial at 4800. Do i connect it to Digital Pin 0? if so, how do i code for the read? If I use Serial.Read() then it tries to read from the bluetooth serial interface.

Thanks for any advice!

Yup, NewSoftSerial works great!! Does exactly what I need. Guess i should have taken my own advise and read the documentation

::slight_smile:

Sorry if this thread doesn't help anyone. I'll post some code once i have it actually doing something.
