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.

Why not use Software serial on the Uno for this project?

Using Rx0 and Tx0 will prove to be problematic.
