Where's my UART?
On the SAMD21, we have the flexibility of using a wide range of pins for UART. Compare this to some chips like the
ESP8266 with fixed UART pins. The good news is you can use many but not all pins. Given the large number of SAMD
boards we have, its impossible to guarantee anything other than the labeled 'TX' and 'RX'. So, if you want some other
setup, or multiple UARTs, how will you find those pins? Easy! We've written a handy script.
All you need to do is copy this file to your board, rename it code.py, connect to the serial console and check out the
output! The results print out a nice handy list of RX and TX pin pairs that you can use.
These are the results from a Trinket M0, your output may vary and it might be very long.
