The Maple has 3 separate USART devices. In the most simple use case,
the RX and TX pins are used to send data at a predetermined baudrate
with the line voltage level relative to ground. Their usage is
documented in the :ref:`Serial Ports <lang-serial>` language reference
-page.

+If you use a particular serial port, you cannot also use its
+communication pins for other purposes at the same time.

+We have successfully used the USART ports with an FT232R-based
+USB-serial converter at up to 115200 baud. Higher speeds should
certainly be possible.
