Using MonkMake 7-segment display with Arduino

Hello there,

I have a project for which I want to address a 7 segment screen. Now the one that I got is a MonkMake 7-segment display from RS components.

In the documentation it says that I need to address it in a 9600 baud serial interface in ASCII texts.

My question is, how would I do that in an Arduino Nano Every?

(First program that I write and not all of it is copy paste)

Thanks!!

Specialized for BBC micro:bit. has it's own MCU on board.

Hi Res Images

Datasheet (+Schema)

Since you only have one serial port that is being used for debug, upload etc download the software serial software and use it to communicate with your MonkMake 7-segment display.

I have already found this, I mean how to address the MCU from the Arduino
With the Arduino language

no address. just send text.

I have found a different info, that the Nano Every has more than one serial port.
D11/D12 can be used as MOSI/MISO ports, according to the documentation at page 9:

I have also found another page that says that it has 4 serial interfaces, you just need to enable them, as it is not default.

My question is rather be that. If it says that 9600 baud interface. Do I just set up D11/12 as serial 1-2-3-4 in void setup(), and just simply serial.println the text that I want to make appear?
Or is there something more complicated magic here?
