2 Cmucams?

Of course, the PIC can handle that, considering that the cameras will not continuously send data, however, a few thousand interrupts per second will be generated.

The UART only triggers interrupts when it a packet hits on the Rx side. The CMU cam only puts out a few hundred interrupts per second.
