I have a Conceptinetics CTC-DRA-01-R2 DMX shield that I am looking to use but instead of using TX/RX-uart, I want to use TX/RX-io. I want to use this instead because the Arduino board that I am using has built a esp32 chip built in (yes, it is a cheap Chinese board) and uses the uart pins for serial. I got the board because I needed the wireless connectivity options so I can transmit data to it wireless and then export out using the DMX shield.
From what I understand is that I should be able to transmit using the io instead of uart however I have not found any instructions on how to do so or a DMX library that will let me transmit by some other means besides uart.
Basically, how do I use TX/RX-io instead of TX/RX-uart for this board so I can let the esp32 chip use uart and the DMX shield use io? I was using the suggested Conceptinetics library. Is there a better one to use that will let me define what pins to use for TX/RX?
I attached all of the documentation that comes with the DMX shield. The links below are for the Espduino-32 board:
