Hi everyone, I have a library that requires a hardware Serial port for it's functions and my Arduino Uno only has one hardware Serial port. I would still like to use the Serial.print() functions to debug my program but it seems to use that same port. Is there a way to create a software serial port…

I made my life simpler and bought an Arduino Mega 2560 with 3 hardware serial ports. Thank you all for your suggestions. I thought there might be a simple solution for the Arduino Uno, but I guess buying the 2560 board is probably the simplest of all.

Using a software serial port for Serial monitor output?

If only for debug output, consider LCD or OLED with IIC (two-wire comm).
