Many Serial Ports

Read data from the multiple Serial Ports


char val; 

void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);   // start Serial at 9600bps
  Serial1.begin(9600);  // start Serial1 at 9600bps
}

void loop() {
  if(Serial.available()) {  // if data avaible fomr Serial
    val = Serial.read();    // read data from Serial
    // print it back to Serial for console monitoring
    Serial.print("received data from Serial: ");  
    Serial.println(val);
  }
  if(Serial1.available()) {  // if data avaible fomr Serial1
    val = Serial1.read();    // read data from Serial1
    // print it back to Serial for console monitoring
    Serial.print("received data from Serial1: ");
    Serial.println(val);
  }
  delay(100);  // wait 100ms for next reading
}
