Thanks Guillaume,

I've managed it like you suggested, with an Arduino Mega.
It works fine now, so thank you!

By the way, if you use a esp8266 instead of your arduino micro, not only you can do your thing with Wifi, but you could also use two HM-10 because it has two HardwareSerial ports. Port 0 is normally used for sketch upload, so you will have to upload by OTA.

It also has a third TX pin that you can use for your debugging, but this will require another usb/serial adapter, but you could just communicate with PC with another way!

I have never used SoftwareSerial but maybe you need to modify (or better, create your own) RemoteXY module so that it makes use of listen().

But then you might have other problems and it might not work as you expect, because:

Only one software serial port can listen at a time; data that arrives for other ports will be discarded. Any data already received is discarded during the call to listen() (unless the given instance is already listening).

But can you use both HM-10 without RemoteXY ? And 4800 is very slow, maybe try with 115200.

I think you should use a board with multiple HardwareSerial ports (arduino mega 2560, for example)

Sorry, some mistake in my code... Here is my correct Testcode:
Like this, it is working fine. But as soon as i call

rxy2 = new CRemoteXY (rxy2_config, &rxy2_struct, REMOTEXY_ACCESS_PASSWORD, REMOTEXY_SERIAL_RX2, REMOTEXY_SERIAL_TX2, REMOTEXY_SERIAL_SPEED);

in setup() or

rxy2->handler();

in loop() both HM-10 do not reply anymore. Is this an pin-change-interrupt-problem??

Greetings, Simon

Hi,

and thanks for your reply.
I've found that code before
My code compiles without errors. But I'm not able to use 2 HM-10 in parallel. Is it possible with your library to use 2 or more SoftwareSerial in parallel? If I just use one of the modules (with no use of the code from e.g. rxy2), it works. With both of them the devices don't reply.

Do you have any ideas?

Please help me!
Thanks...

two or more HM-10 BLE over SoftwareSerial

null@example.com (ungesimmt) — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:39:04 +0000

Hi!

I need some help, please.

I have done some projects with Arduino Micro, HM-10 over SoftwareSerial and all work fine.

Now I want to have two (or maybe three) HM-10 Bluetooth-modules connected to an Arduino Micro, so that I can make two (or even three) connections to the Arduino from different phones at the same time.
I like to build a small game with 2 game controllers.

But I have no idea how to run multiple instances from RemoteXY on the same Arduino at the same time with different serial settings.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks a lot!
