-The Arduino MEGA has 4 user serial ports - 1 reversed for the system and 3 user controllable serial ports. These serial ports can be configured in code or via the Motors and Sensor Setup window. The serial ports are buffered - a 70 byte receive buffer and a 40 byte transmit buffer.
+The 328P-Based Arduino has 1 serial ports. This serial port is typically reserved for use for downloading programs and using the ROBOTC debugger. Users can change the serial port to have control over the RX and TX lines, but doing so will render the ROBOTC debugger useless. Users may also experience an issue when trying to download new code after running a program that modifies the Serial Port for non-system use - We are currently working on this issue, but the temporary work around is to download the ROBOTC firmware again to restore normal functionality.
