RX (pin 0) and Serial output on Arduino Uno?

Projects Programming
1

I know that the USB Serial communiacaltion is linked to the RX and TX pins and can't be used at the same time, however, I'm wondering wether it would be possible to recieve GPS data on the RX pin, while sending data to my PC via the same Serial?

Seing as the PC would never send any data, there shouldn't be any conflict?
It is now terribly important, as I wont need the USB in the end, but it would help for the debugging.

I can't use SoftwareSerial as it seems to mess with some timers so that some of my code breaks completely.

you want to receive date on the rx pin of the arduino uno? well, thats whats the RX pin is there for.
what is your problem?

What I want is to recieve data on the RX pin from my GPS module, while simultaneously sending data to the PC via USB. SO basically having RX connected to the GPS and TX to the PC.

The Bobuino has two serial ports, mega has four.

That is probably possible but it would be a lot of trouble and it would make it more complicated to upload programs to the Uno.

I suggest you use SoftwareSerial to create an extra serial port on two other pins and use that for your GPS.
