Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Have you considered Bluetooth? There is zero software overhead because you use a UART as if it was hard-wired. The HC-05 and HC-06 are easy to work with.

I actually haven't thought about Bluetooth, thanks for the tip. Maybe I already have some HC-06 modules lying around somewhere.
