Then the first question I have to ask is, why not just enable the UART4 peripheral und use the according Serial4
object instead of Serial
?
As you can see in the file Arduino_Core_STM32/cores/arduino/WSerial.h at main · stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32 · GitHub, the steps to enable this serial are to just define the ENABLE_HWSERIAL4
serial. Then just Serial4.println()
stuff.
You can also select which serial the Serial
object maps to by controlling the SERIAL_UART_INSTANCE
, as you have shown. There you just need to modify this macro and the PIN_SERIAL_RX
and PIN_SERIAL_TX
macros, but not the definition of the pins in PeripheralPins.c
.
But if it’s just for some debug code I’d just add
build_flags = -D ENABLE_HWSERIAL4
and
#define DebugSerial Serial4
...
void func() {
DebugSerial.println("Debug strings");
}
