Using the ModularSensors code for a Maxbotix HRXL Ultrasonic Range Finder below

it references a sonarSerial and mentions having to set it up in the “Setting for Additional Serial Ports” but I am unable to find the correct “settings” to start the serial port? What are the the best Groove Pins to use, for the Sonic pins? For a Trigger pin and a Serial Pin.

Thanks Ron

// A Maxbotix sonar with the trigger pin disconnect CANNOT share the serial port
// A Maxbotix sonar using the trigger may be able to share but YMMV

// NOTE: Extra hardware and software serial ports are created in the "Settings

const int8_t SonarPower = sensorPowerPin;  // Excite (power) pin (-1 if unconnected)
const int8_t Sonar1Trigger = -1;  // Trigger pin (a unique negative number if unconnected)
const uint8_t sonar1NumberReadings = 3;  // The number of readings to average

// Create a MaxBotix Sonar sensor object
MaxBotixSonar sonar1(sonarSerial, SonarPower, Sonar1Trigger, sonar1NumberReadings);
