Serial output on prop1

Is it possible to have more than 1 serial output on a prop1? I.E. 1 for an RC4 and 1 for a PSC.

I believe due to the speed of the prop1 only one serial output is allowed.  Looking at the rc4, it does appear to have two sets of headers in the serial input so it may be ppossible to "daisy chain" the serial signal.

You can actually have as many as you want -- up to eight -- but only one can talk at a time.  If you find the PSC and RC4 don't play nicely on the same line I'd move the PSC to P6 (you'll need to clip a ULN pin, even if using the ULN2003) and use P5 as the trigger input.
