GATOR : New Board

No, PD0/PD1 are hardwired to the USB port.

I suppose you could solder some wires onto the board for PD0 and PD1 and bring those out for your own use :slight_smile:

What are Arduino digital pin number(s) that are assigned to
the Gator's Serial Port 0 (default USB port) PD0 & PD1 pins?

I know that by soldering wires to these pins voids
my warranty on the Gator?

BTW ... Soldering two wires to the surface mount 324P
is not an easy task for those attemping to try it!

Since those are dedicated serial port pins they do not have Arduino digital pin numbers. You can always add them yourself by editing the hardware/cores/arduino/pins_arduino.c file.

Yes, those lines are not externally protected thus if you apply overvoltage or negative voltage from an outside wire then you run the risk of damaging the AVR or the FT232 device.

It is probably easier to solder some thin wire (e.g., 30AWG) into one of the vias for those lines. This image shows two accessible locations for soldering to the TXD and RXD lines:
