Topic: Alternative Arduino SoftwareSerial library
Hello, I am a happy RemoteXY user and I congratulate you on the excellent work you have done.
I ran into a strange problem related to the arduino SoftwareSerial library that doesn't get along well with interrupts.
The problem is known and much discussed on the web: in many cases where the software serial and the i2c protocol are used, one of the two does not work well.
My case is an arduino nano connected to an ESP8266 with the SoftwareSerial and to an i2c oled display and an adafruit MLX90614 sensor always i2c.
I can read the sensor and send the data via RemoteXY but the display does not work, if I disable the software serial (and consequently RemoteXY) I can read the results on the display.
Some people who had similar problems, not with RemoteXY but only with the software serial, have solved it using the "AltSoftSerial Library".
I was wondering if there was a way to use this library instead of the standard "SoftwareSerial" with RemoteXY.
Sorry for my English!!!! (I used google translate ....)
Many thanks!!
