Is it possible to have more than one serial in port?

It seems that whenever I assign another SERIN pin it seems that the entire program will cease to work, like my RFID reader not reading.

Any help?

    Freezepop -

    A copy of your program would be real helpful in troubleshooting the problem. We really can't see what you're doing presently that may be causing the problem.

    If you are using the Stamp to power any external devices, you may be causing a brown-out which will cause the Stamp to reset and seem not to be doing what you intend it to do.

    Regards,

    Freezepop,

    One thing you need to realize is that, even though you have more than one SERIN port, you can read from only one of them at a time. What this means is that, while you're executing one SERIN — or anything else, for that matter — the other ports are deaf to any incoming traffic.
