Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a SKR Mini E3 V3.0 that the micro USB shorted out on the Ender 3 case. It's a dead socket now. I would love to be able to connect to the board again instead of having to pull the TF card from the board when I want to transfer prints. I was using pronterface/octoprint regularly, and now that is not an option with the dead socket.

Describe the solution you'd like A description/tutorial/guide on how to connect a HC-05 module to some sort of serial/USB port on the BTT boards.

Describe alternatives you've considered Giving up on connected printing. Using the dead board as a standalone board with a dead socket until it dies.

Additional context A video doing what I am asking, but to an older RAMPS 1.4 board..

You could use a TTL-USB converter and connect it from the TFT connector. Then you would have a printer available via a USB connector.
