PINK serial ports

The PINK documentation shows two serial ports with handshake.
Port 1 (named Debug and connects to stamp) and Port 0 named Serial Port.
Does Port 0 function and if so, could it be used to let 2 microcontrollers
access the same Pink module?

    I wonder if you ever found an answer to your question?

    Peter,

    Sorry, with the activity in the forums and the Sandbox being non-topic we don’t always keep track of it. The answer to your question is that the other serial port is only useable for debugging and changing settings in the absence of the network connection. You cannot access any of the serial functions from it. In fact there is an error in the current documentation which I will be addressing soon regarding this port. When you change the baud rate in the IPSETUP program you’re actually only affecting this extra serial port. The only baud rate setting you need to make is on the web configuration page. Take care.
