Using a second UART
On the ESP32 UART0 is normally reserved for interactive use with REPL. Sometimes we need a
UART to communicate with external devices. Typical examples are:
- fingerprint readers using a serial communication protocol
- GPS modules
The ESP32 has 3
UARTs of which however UART1 is reserved for use with flash memory.
However UART2 is free.
