Hi,
I would like the VIM3 to control 1) a servo driver and communicate to 2) a Laser Controller via the Linux_RX and Linux_TX pins that use the 3.3V RS232 port protocol.
I would like to know if it is possible to use the same pins 18 and 19 to control 2 drivers/controllers using the RS232 serial protocol.
Or is there a way for two controllers to be on the same bus or same pins?
Hi PIN18 & PIN19 are used as the debug console by default, you can’t use it directly, you have to do some modifications. You need to remove console=${uart_tty},115200n8 in /boot/boot.ini

Why not to use the PIN15 & PIN16? Or you must need 2 UARTs ?
I have remapped pins 15 and 16 as GPIO pins. Are pins 15 and 16 UART pins, what is the voltage and protocol that it follows?
One of the device I want control has only RS232 port protocol 3.3V and the other is a serial communication. Is there a way to have multiple devices on the same RS232 pins 18 and 19?
I am using an I2C port expander on pin 22, 23 and 25, so I believe that interferes with the SPI pins on the VIM3, please correct me if I am wrong?
