Hello.
What pins used for SERIAL0 on board based on ATmega32U4
MicroWii?
I want to use OSD+Blutooth+USB at same moment, so I am going to use SERIAL1 for bluetooth and SERIAL0 for OSD.
This board have special pins that associated with SERIAL1, but I could not find pins for SERIAL0.
In config.h board selected as "FREEIMUv043" and uncommented "#define A32U4ALLPINS"

The ATMega32U4 provides only one USART namely SERIAL1 and one USB port which is implemented in hardware and called SERIAL0 only by multiwii.
Thus, there are no USART-pins called SERIAL0.
In general, I don't recommend any PROMICRO/ATMega32U4-based flight control board if you intend to
- make use of more then one USART/SERIAL,
- connect a GPS device,
- use telemetry,
- expand the code with own code or
- be safe for future developments (because the available FLASH is quite spare)
Forget that board and buy an ATMega2560-based one which better fits to your purpose.
It costs only for a few dollar/euro more.

my sentimant exaclty, just not worth wasting your time for the difference in cost vs capability , the sooner you cut your losses to better
