In order to transmit text from the Arduino board to the HC-05 Bluetooth module, I have use Serial.print. However, I don't see a way to debug the code without using Serial.print to test the other features of the software. Is there another way to transmit text from the Arduino to the computer, and from the Arduino to the HC-05, simultaneously (and without WiFi)?

Yes. Plenty. You could add WiFi to it. You could use an external UART adaptor and SoftwareSerial. You could add Ethernet to it. There's many ways.– MajenkoDec 17, 2018 at 12:48

WiFi isn't available in this case. I'll edit the question.– user39884Dec 17, 2018 at 12:49

The simplest is probably to just use SoftwareSerial and an external USB to UART adaptor. Or just move the HC-05 to other pins and use SoftwareSerial with it (as long as you're no faster than around 9600 baud).– MajenkoDec 17, 2018 at 12:52

Yes, what version of Arduino are you using?
- For Arduino Mega, you can use
Serial.printlnfor writing debug data andSerial1.printlnfor communication with HC-05. (See Example: MultiSerial Example) - For other Arduino boards, you can use
Serial.printlnfor writing debug data and SoftwareSerial library for communication with HC-05. (See Example: SofwareSerial)

I'm using an Arduino Uno.– user39884Dec 17, 2018 at 14:00

Ok, connect RXD pin and TXD pin of HC-05 to pin 10 and 11 of Arduino Uno and follow SoftwareSerial example. arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SoftwareSerialExample– leoc7Dec 17, 2018 at 14:22
