UART Pins

Basically, find the J1 header on your board (orienting LEDs at top right, this is the male 6-pin header on the left. Find the dot inked on the PCB at the top of the header (keeping the same orientation). The pin directly below that is pin 1.

J1 pin

As you can see, only 3 pins are connected. Refer to the table below to connect them to your USB to serial device, and ignore the others.

J1 Pin USB to Serial Pin
1 (GND) GND
4 (RX) TX
5 (TX) RX

SLIP makes the IP layer available over serial. This is advantageous because set up correctly, we access the FC's services as Kubos intended (while avoiding Ethernet setups). The downside is serial transfers are slow.

Instructions unceremoniously copied from here

TODO: slip works, but can't ssh in - figure out flow control significance, how to redirect back to actual host (for browser / postman)
