Thank you so much for this video. This is the best explanation of this subject on youtube. It has really helped me to understand how it is applied to the flight controller.
The UART was invented in the 60's when nobody thought about USB, Microcontrollers, Cellular, WiFi, .... It was a large board FULL with components. Later it was a 40 pin 0.6" wide DIP programmed with external jumpers.
Hello! very good your video! would a gps work fine on a soft serial port? I have a matek 411 wte, and I have the only available uart port with dji wtfos (dji wtfos fujciona with errors in softserial inav 6.0) Greetings!

I have had a very difficult time getting my flight controllers to consistently connect to my computer using the UART connection on the FC board. Very frustrating and I dont know why it is so difficult to establish the connection. Maybe it is old technology that needs an upgrade
Can't beat the old UART way of connecting stuff. I don't like CAN bus, all to easy for one device to fail and drag the whole network down with it. Modern cars are prone to that, one fault can bring half the cars electronics down by corrupting the bus. Long live the UART.

I remember the ports we used to connect the mouse back in the 90s. 😬
Great explanation of the differences in communication types. Thanks!
Excellent, Lee! Thanks! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Muchas gracias por la aclaración para los que estamos aprendiendo en este hobby.
Un saludo.
Brilliant demystification. Thank you!
Thanks for the video Lee.
Good explanations for both.
Hi Lee Thanks for the video and information on uart's and how to use it.
Thank you for the video
Great explanation!👍
Really helpful!. Thanks

It will but isn't ideal. See

UART is a slang term for a self portrait. Soft serial is mainly what old blokes get...
Wasn't Eagle Tree using CAN bus way back when?
I am trying to recall. It has been a long time since I setup my Vectors... happy flying!
So what's the purpose of the UART ports on the bottom of my TX16S? What would I use them for? And how would I go about doing that?

second ! great video
Do you read minds or why do you upload a video about ports a day after I tried to figure it out?
