ESP32-C3 Serial

PlatformIO IDE
,

I am using an ESP32-C3 SuperMini Board and have run Serial (GPIO18 - USB_N, GPIO19 - USBD_P) and Serial0 (GPIO20 - U0RXD, GPIO21 - U0TXD).
But the diagram shows that there is another Serial (GPIO1 - U1RXD, GPIO0 - U1TXD), but it does not work. Serial1 compiles, but then Serial USB stops working.
Anyone know how to get Serial1 to work?

Reading the relevant code snippets…

Especially in conjunction with the XIAO_ESP32C3/pins_arduino.h tells me, that the variant seeed_xiao_esp32c3 does not explicitly define the RX1, TX1 pins which should be used for Serial1, and thus the default macros push it to RX1 = GPIO18, TX1 = GPIO19, which however exactly are the USB D+ and D- pins.

Try to explicitly give it the pin numbers you want in the .begin() method.

	Serial1.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, /* RX */ 1, /* TX*/ 0);

Thank you for your reply. It worked.
Now 3 serial ports work simultaneously.

Hi ave can you please help me.
Like you, I would like to use the serial interface on the ESP32 superMini. I have a USB-serial converter on pins 20 and 21. But I don’t see any signal there.
What board definition are you using?
what needs to be done besides the normal “Serial.begin(115200);” The setup says “Serial.println(“wonderful”);” functions
I am grateful for every hint
