Dual RS232

Is Flowcode V3 capable of running Dual RS232 ? I mean, in some cases for example interfacing GPS(serial) and GSM(serial) to the PIC requires two RS232 which PIC doesnot have(except PIC24 and dsPIC). In such cases, how Flowcode will help ? One way is to use one Serial Port and use I/O Pins for the other. Can PIC be programmed using Flowcode in this way ? If no, what is the solution ?

Hello,
Some of the newer 16F and 18F devices do have 2 UARTs and therefore you can use the code customisation feature in V4 to control which UART you are talking to with a specific component. We are working to improve this so you can select your peripheral on a component basis. The RS232 component in v4 already has this functionality.
If you want to do this in V3 then you will have to manually edit the specific component code file to reference a second UART.
