I made a spider robot using arduino and from esp. I made an audio output device which is linked to python program which writes a particular data (when we speak a command) to esp board and accordingly the voice would be activated. Now I want to link them together. If the esp32 sends a particular data the function in arduino is executed. Therefore I want to connect esp32 to arduino uno though Serial monitor and send data from esp 32 to arduino. I have only analog pins vacant as all digital pins are used for the servos. how can I achieve this?. In the main arduino file there are 2 more flexitimer and flexitimer2.cpp files but there is no need of editing them and hence I am giving the code of main file. ```c++ #include <Servo.h> //to define and control servos #include "FlexiTimer2.h"//to set a timer to manage all servos /* Servos --------------------------------------------------------------------*/ //define 12 servos for 4 legs char data = 0;
