Nano/XBee/SoftwareSerial

Projects Programming

I've read a dozen or two posts about this but that answer is still not 100% clear.

I'm porting some code that I originally wrote for a Mega, using one TX/RX for serial monitor on my computer, and TX3/RX3 to communicate with the XBee(series1). On the Mega those were all hardware ports.

On the Nano, can I create a SoftwareSerial port and then use it just like TX3/RX3 on the Mega, to communicate with the XBee?

Thanks,
Mark

(and are any of the Nano's digital pins valid for SoftwareSerial?)

Yes.

Except the hardware serial pins, any digital pins can be used for SoftwareSerial. Analog pins, too.
