Implementation with USB serial Cable #2

From my understanding - the control is via packets of serial data, and these can likely be sent via a USB Uart cable: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/ftdi-future-technology-devices-international-ltd/TTL-234X-3V3/6823715 https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/ftdi-future-technology-devices-international-ltd/TTL-234X-5V/6823719

There are a couple of Wireless video transmitters which also have a USB host capability - used for sending control signals to attached cameras.

I wonder whether these transmitters could be couple with the Motor in order for a 'all in one' solution....

I vaguely remember attempting something but nothing worked right away so I fell back to to just sending commands via bluetooth. I haven't dug more into controlling gimbal via wired serial.

I know the micro-usb that connects to the camera sends cmds to camera via standard serial, but I haven't tried sending commands back into the camera through it.
