RemoteXY Serial Assignments

Projects Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer
1

I'm probably missing something simple,, (I'm new to using RemoteXY) and have been experimenting with using the Cloud Server and/or Access Point,, but for some reason the only connection I can get functioning is using Hardware serial (0-rx, 1-tx) with Arduino Mega 2560,
Any other (Hardware Serial1,2, or 3, Software ) doesn't work (no connection to Cloud and/or no activity on Serial monitor).
Even, when i try "Wifi Access" as a local access point,, again only Serial (0-rx, 1-tx) results in activity on the Serial monitor and functions correctly as per the examples.
Setup is :
Wifi Access or Cloud
Arduino Mega 2560
ESP8266 Wifi module
Arduino IDE

Hopefully I'm overlooking something very simple as I've tried the other Serial ports with other programs and I know they function.

Ask the guy who wrote RemoteXY.

Either use of Rx0/Tx1 is hard coded or you are not selecting the Mega instead of the Uno.

thanks. If I knew how to get ahold of him i certainly would. I did post on their forum as well but the user/knowledge base here is far larger and more diverse.
Yah, I triple checked and changed the Mega selection and switched it back and forth just to be sure.
There isn't anything i see in the code it creates that is copied into the IDE that differentiates the board selection,, other than the Serial assignment. So I would assume if it shows Serial3,, then it would only allow that value on a Mega and not a Uno.
#define REMOTEXY_SERIAL Serial3

I suggest you re-read First project. Flashing LED Arduino by clicking on the smartphone

well,,, i did re-read it in hopeful anticipation of something that I've over looked that you saw..
So I have to ask you,, what exactly was the gem of information I was supposed to glean from that tutorial??
Besides the fact I didn't mention anything about Bluetooth connectivity nor Software Serial in my initial post,, the suggestion was somewhat underwhelming in its usefulness and applicability.

The author wrote the program for the Uno.

You are using the Mega.

Make sure there is not something different between the two that can impact the code.

unsigned char RemoteXY_CONF[] = 
  { 1,0,11,0,1,5,1,0,25,7
  ,49,49,2,88,0 };
