| ## SoftwareSerial The Wiring SoftwareSerial library allows for easily reading and writing data to and from external machines through software serial ports. It allows two machines to communicate. Note: the SoftwareSerial class doesn´t have the available() method. The serial port is a nine pin I/O port that exists on most PCs and can be emulated through USB on Macintosh and PCs with USB Serial adapters. |  | SoftwareSerial Wiring SoftwareSerial class (datatype). begin() Opens the serial port for reading and writing. print() Writes dat (int, float, byte, char, char[], numbers in base (DEC, BIN, OCT or HEX) or Strings to the serial port. println() It works as the print method but prints a new line character at the end of each call. read() Returns a number between 0 and 255 for the next byte that's waiting in the buffer. Returns -1 if there is no byte. |  |
