Hi all!
I'm a perfect newbie and I have a question about Lilypad. I see that Lilypad has one TX and one RX pins. If I want to link the GSM+GPS board FONA 808 with TX/RX pins, will I be able to link also some Radiometrix device to the lilypad? And if it is so, which pins should I use? Because of TX/RX pins are still used by the FONA 808 board.
Hope my english is better than my arduino knowledge (I don't think so...).
Thank you so much

Connected to the HardwareSerial instance, Serial.

Yes, using SoftwareSerial on any other pins that support pin change interrupts.
PaulS, thank you much for your answer. I ask another 5 minutes of your time. I've found that the Lilypad USB (the one with 9 digital pins) has every pins that could be used as serial (there's an explicit sentence on the product page), whereas I cannot find,the same thing on the Lilypad with 14 digital pins. May you help me understanding if for the 14 digital pi,s version is the same thing? Thank you again. Francesco
As far as I know, all the pins on the ATMega328 chip, the one that all the smaller Arduinos and Lilypads use, are capable of pin change interrupts. Its the bigger ATMega chips, used on the Mega, that have some pins that are not capable of pin change interrupts.
Thank you so much PaulS!
