Hi. Is it possible to use the two ports at the same time? My board is ATMega328P based and I'm trying to connect a uBlox NEO-6M GPS using the UART port. However, to test it I''m also using the FTDI port with either USB or BT connection but the board doesn't seem to receive GPS packets.
I suspect I can't use the two ports at the same time, because I have to disconnect the BT module when flashing the board via USB-FTDI.
Problem using FTDI and UART at the same time in MW SE 2.0

Actually it's not 2 ports.
They are connected in paralell and only one at a time can be used!.

Oh, thanks for your quick answer. Do you know of any board with independent serial ports?

Mega based boards have 3 serialports.
