JColvin Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi @TonyIta, The short answer is you will need a UART Crossover Cable such as this one, though you can use individual wires as well. The longer answer is that back in 2010 or so Microchip changed the pin arrangements on their microcontrollers so that the RX and TX lines are now on pins 2 and 3 rather than 3 and 4. You can see this more specifically in this document here. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks, JColvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
