In function `SoftwareSerial::read()': (.text+0x0): multiple definition of `__vector_9'

Hello there,
I am working on combining three codes(RC, HRSC04, GPS), where Remote Control and ultrasonic codes combining didn't give me any problem as it worked (named it as HRSC04_RC). But, adding GPS code to the HRSC04_RC giving me an error. I believe Software serial and enable interrupt libraries won't work together.

Can anyone give me the solution to it, how to avoid the error?

Thank you!

Why are you using software serial, the Mega has 3 spare hardware serial ports ?

Hi @srnet,
If I understand you correctly, should I completely take off software serial from the code and just give digital input to GPS and read the data from it?

Connect the GPS up to one of the hardware serial ports, Serial1, Serial2 or Serial3.

You would then read the GPS with something like;

 while (Serial1.available() > 0)
    if (gps.encode(Serial1.read()))

Thanks @srnet
I tried connecting to serial2 (16, 17), and still, I'm not able to compile the code.

Don't you think it would be helpful to post the complete, updated code?
