Read external sensors with UART interface

[Dimitar]

Basically, it can be divided into two cases

Reading/sampling TX pin of the sensor (since usually nothing is sended back)

Send/Read possibility - in case of range switching/calibrating/programming

How easy/or how difficult is to have additional UART. I guess the only one is dedicated on the Bluetooth connection, and on first glance I don't see any UART connections. May be another serial standard as I2C will be OK, but there is sensors which really has only UART.

Thanks Jan, I am quite a newbee in Nordic Thingy:52 (heard yesterday from a colleague of mine). I want one to have only one physical UART, and data received on it (very slowly, it is air quality parameters) to "fuse" with all other data from sensors onboard. Two serial ports will be quite advanced.

Then of course read and log already "fused data".

Of course I am also interested to add other analog/digital (SPI, I2C, 1 wire) inputs and may be outputs for external sensors and actuators.

I guess it should work, but in anycase decide to ask on first place. Will order my devkit probably today :)

Let me know what you think!
