Multiple TTL sensors on serial RX GPIO 10

Raspberry Pi Asked by rdel on November 15, 2021

Is it possible to read more than one TTL sensor on serial RX GPIO 10?
I know you can add multiple serial sensors on /dev/ttyUSBx

Does the same apply to /dev/ttyAMAx ?

Use a MUX IC between the sensors and the pin. That should work.

While I have not been able to find a way to read multiple TTL sensors on a single GPIO pin, I did find this way of using other GPIO pins as serial RX pins via the pigpio library. Works great.

And a link to simple python code for reading a given GPIO pin as serial:
