I'm not sure I'd recommend my setup, saying as my cable is a bit of a tight fit, and has bent the pins slightly. If you're not careful, you could snap them off. But, here goes... I'm using a "standard" 3.3v RPi uart cable: "FTDI TTL-232R-RPI Cable, Debug, USB to TTL-232, RPI, 1m" http://uk.farnell.com/ftdi/ttl-232r-rpi/cable-debug-ttl-232-usb-rpi/dp/2147356 https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/Cables/DS_TTL-232R_RPi.pdf And I've wedged the pins in like this:30733 I show the other end of the FTDI cable in the photo just to show that it's a simple USB connector. It just connects to my Linux PC (other OSes are available :p ). Nothing fancy or complicated. The red tape is to hold the cable in place. Without the tape, the cable had a tendency to fall out when I moved the Radio. The Yellow wire is connected to pin 6 (TX on Radio, RX on my cable), orange to pin 8 (RX on Radio, TX on my cable) and black to pin 10 (GND) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: IMG_20200615_191204.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30733| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ omnium21's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70334 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112339 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
