Hi,
I was just wondering if the Gamebuinos are going to come with serial capabilities? :?:

Thanks for your time.

Gamebuino has a micro USB B port (standard, like your smartphone) for USB communication with a computer, to load programs and games from a computer, and to charge the battery. I hope that answers your question :)
In a broader sens sense of "Serial", Gamebuino also features SPI and I2C as serial communication protocols.

So the hardware UART is not reachable over pinout.
When you like to have a UART the you can use the software uart with every pin.

Yes I was wondering about communication, thanks for answering my question. I assume this will give me access to commands such as Serial.println() and what not?

Thank you so much. :D

Yeah sure you can use Serial.println(). Note that the Gamebuino library also allows you to use gb.display.print() for text and numbers as well.
