How to use the RPI UART with LiFePO 4 wered/Pi™ connected #2

Closed biank88 closed 8 years ago

I think that it's not mentioned in the documentation if it would be possible to use the UART module and the lifepo4weredPi at the same time.

It mostly is an issue of getting the UART physically connected. If you can connect to it by extending the pins or soldering a wire to it, you can use the UART. The LiFePO4wered/Pi only uses the UART TX pin to detect shutdown.

That's nice! Thank you very much. BTW I'm asking these questions here on Github, instead of asking them privately, so that they might be useful for somebody else. I hope this is not a problem for you.
