v0.7.0 conflicts with Adafruit_VC0706/SoftwareSerial about wifi101 HOT 9 CLOSED

ok we'll take care of it.

Same issue here, I'm having conflict with < SoftwareSerial.h>, exact same error report.

Thanks for taking your time looking into this.

Unfortunately on the Uno this library needs to use PCINT2_vect (vector 5) to listen to pin change interrupts on pin 7.

We can look into making the PCINT0_vect (vector 3) and PCINT1_vect (vector 4) vectors weak, but with the current technique of using the pin change interrupt on pin 7 PCINT2_vect (vector 5) cannot be made weak, so there will still be incompatibilities when trying to use this library with SoftwareSerial.

I have not tested this with v0.8.0, as that version of the library appears to not work with the Uno r3. The above bug report appears to have been closed, suggesting it has been fixed in v0.8.0?

PR #39 is open to fix issues with the Uno not working in v0.8.0.

PR #29 only fixed SoftwareSerial support with the Mega in v0.8.0.

@sandeepmistry Thanks for your prompt reply, so does it mean that the wifi101 and software serial should work with Mega?

@xarvey

does it mean that the wifi101 and software serial should work with Mega?

Yes this is correct, it is supported by v0.8.0 already (see #29).

@sandeepmistry I got the mega today and it works. Thank you so much.

@xarvey perfect, thanks for confirming!

@agdl do you think we should change this to a documentation issue? Then mentioned that the Uno + WiFi 101 shield is not compatible with the SoftwareSerial library.

@akash73 could we get someone to update the documentation with my comment in #44 (comment).

Then I think we can close the issue.
