How to use Serial1 instead of NewSoftSerial

Closed this issue · 8 comments

I'm using Arduino Mega 2560 with IComSat GSM shield.
I've already trim the pins 1 and 2 of the shield(the ones below arduino's pin 1 
and 0) so I must use these ones :p
The codes of the library only use NewSoftSerial and they don't allow me to 
change its pins.
Please help!

You're right we're going to fix it.

Can you guys tell me which arduino pins are currently being used in this 
library?

4,5 or 2,3 for NewSoftSerial, it depends on what version you are using (4,5 for 
the first, 2,3 the second one).

Sorry about all these questions, but I'm kinda lost using this shield.
I've tried all these pins in UART multiplexer, but I'm receiving this all the 
time:
GSM Shield testing.
DB:NO RESP
DB:NO RESP
DB:NO RESP
ERROR: SIM900 doesn't answer. Check power and serial pins in GSM.cpp

status=IDLE

Any idea?

I suggest to you to use the OpenElectronics/Futurashop Shield, because this 
library is developed for that shield.

I've had this problem too. I changed the pins of TX/RX to 2,3. then switched 
from UART to USART. then it worked fine. :)
