The Nano ESP32 board is an exception due to being based on the ESP32 core. Here, `Serial0` refers to `RX0` and `TX0`, while `Serial1` and `Serial2` are additional ports that can be assigned to any free GPIO.

| Board | Serial0 pins | Serial1 pins | Serial2 pins | Serial3 pins | Serial4 pins
| Nano ESP32 | 0(RX0), 1(TX0) | Any free GPIO | Any free GPIO | |

You can read more about configuring the Nano ESP32's additional serial ports in https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/nano-esp32/cheat-sheet/#uart[this article].

[%hardbreaks]
On older boards (Uno, Nano, Mini, and Mega), pins 0 and 1 are used for communication with the computer. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with that communication, including causing failed uploads to the board.
[%hardbreaks]
You can use the Arduino environment's built-in serial monitor to communicate with an Arduino board. Click the serial monitor button in the toolbar and select the same baud rate used in the call to `begin()`.
