Using only TX of SoftwareSerial, leaving RX pin free

Projects General Guidance
2

I wouldn't use pin 100 or anything like that, because it tries to use that pin, eg. here:

void SoftwareSerial::setRX(uint8_t rx)
{
  pinMode(rx, INPUT);
  if (!_inverse_logic)
    digitalWrite(rx, HIGH);  // pullup for normal logic!
  _receivePin = rx;
  _receiveBitMask = digitalPinToBitMask(rx);
  uint8_t port = digitalPinToPort(rx);
  _receivePortRegister = portInputRegister(port);
}

They don't seem to have allowed for no Rx at all, so you might be better off taking the class, and making a "send-only" version by removing the references to the reading part. I'll take a stab at it, shouldn't take long.
