How to use both software serial and hardware serial on Ardruino Micro

I am trying to read data from two GPS modules. One is connected Software Serial, and one is connected to Hardware Serial. I only get data from Hardware Serial.

See code: https://github.com/kaiaw/1510-arduino/blob/master/parsingGPS/parsingGPS.ino

We are using the leo_parsing example from the Adafruit GPS Library https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GPS-Library/blob/master/examples/leo_parsing/leo_parsing.ino

Do any of you have any experience with this? Thanks in advance for any help.

Would you mind posting some code as to what you've tried? Presumably what you are wanting to know is why you are not getting data from the Software Serial? – ouflak

If you want to use software serial, you need to comment out the hardware serial code:

// If using software serial, keep these lines enabled
// (you can change the pin numbers to match your wiring):
SoftwareSerial camSerial(8, 7);
Adafruit_GPS GPS_CAM(&camSerial);

// If using hardware serial, comment
// out the above two lines and enable these two lines instead:
// **if using software serial, comment out these next two lines**
//Adafruit_GPS GPS_PERSON(&Serial1);
//HardwareSerial personSerial = Serial1;
