Hello

I have a FunSpark Serial Graphic LCD Backpack & LCD. I wish to use this setup to Draw an ECG signal and a heart BPM.

My issue is I am NOT using an arduino (nor can I); instead I have an AVR atmega324 (this I can upgrade however if need be).

I've read the tutorial and looked at a few forums but I don't see a way around using the FunSparkSerialGraphical library since I've not figured out how to make the Atmega324 use SoftSerial (which is based on the arduino).

Is there another Library that utilize the USART hardware ? Or is there a way to make the Atmega324p use the FunSparkSerialGraphical library?

Thank you for your help
