Using multiple UARTs on nRF52832

[schef]

Hi guys. What do you suggest when i have to use multiple uart devices?

You cannot have multiple UARTs simultaneously, but you can connect the UART peripheral to different GPIO pins at different times (through the internal pin crossbar).

What, exactly, do you mean by "multiple uart devices" ?

The nRF52832 only has a single UART peripheral.

Do you mean that you have multiple external devices, and want to connect them all to the nRF52832's single UART peripheral?

Or are you asking how to add additional UARTs to the nRF52832?

Or what?

I want to use multiple UART devices simultaneously. So i wanted to know what my options are. I saw that there are some SPI/UART converters. What do you suggest?

You still haven't explained what you mean by "UART devices" here.

From your last comment, it seems that you're talking about external UART chip(s) - is that right?

If so, yes - there are multi-UART chips that can be connected via SPI or I2C.

I want to read information from the devices that uses UART for communication protocol. And there are multiple.
