Hello Manfred!
I am currently working with the serial interface that I connect to the VGA-Pico. When I looked at your program for it, I noticed that the RX/TX pin assignments are not specified in the source code—for example: `SETPIN GP5, GP4, COM2`. A beginner might get stuck on this.


Hello v.lenzer,

Thank you for pointing that out.

You're absolutely right. A beginner should not have to guess which pins are assigned to COM2.

I will update the example and explicitly include the required SETPIN statement so that the program is completely self-contained and can be copied and run without referring back to the surrounding text.

Thanks again for the helpful suggestion!
