Disable REPL to use USB UART for custom console? #2860

I am using an M4 ItsyBitsy and would like to create a custom console for when I plug my computer into the USB port on the ItsyBitsy. I don't know how to access the Tx and Rx pins on the USB port and I don't know if I would be able to use them even if I did know what pins they were since the REPL uses them. And yes I know that there is input() and print() but I need background processes to occur even while the user is using the console (since input() holds the whole script).

Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks!

There are no TX and RX pins on the USB port — that serial port is virtual, simulated in software.

If you want non-blocking input, you will probably be interested in issue #231.
