I have L293D shield connected to my arduino UNO and it fills nearly all the digital pins including TX(1) and RX(0) pins. I know this function, but as far as I know, it works for digital pins. 

SoftwareSerial NAME(Rx,Tx);

How can I set 2 analog pins as Tx and Rx? I will use them for HC-06.

  • The analog pins also have all the functionality of general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins (the same as digital pins 0 - 13). You can just declare it as SoftwareSerial mySerial(A0, A1). Commented Mar 21, 2020 at 12:27
  • BTW, read the caveats on Arduino Reference when using the analog pins as GPIO. Commented Mar 21, 2020 at 12:33

    Is the shield really using all these pins, or is it just covering them up? Commented Mar 21, 2020 at 14:33
