Atmega 328: available pins for SoftSerial UART

[saab95]

Hi, I noticed that there are some available pins on the 328. Can any of these be used for emulated UARTs (softSerial)?

(I'm looking into the possibility of adding a DAB receiver)

AFAIK, any pin that's not being used can be used for SoftwareSerial, so you should be fine. Just be aware that starting with 5.1, we started using ADC7 for a module reset so if you upgrade your hardware later, you might have to switch pins if you use that now.

Thanx :-)
My DAB project is on the backburner until SID text issue is resolved and I'm taking some classes that are eating up much of my free time.

I'm looking forward to play with my DAB dev board and hopefully integrate it into a saab-cdc :-)
