Hello,
I am trying to do the same thing...
UART1 on OrangePi Zero v1.4 connected to this board... I even tried RaspberryPi zero but got merely garbage characters or nothing at all either.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002791042317.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.3e081802uhgin9
I made sure multiple times that the GND is connected to GND, TX to RX and RX to TX, there is 3.3V across them... but yea nothing out of it 😕
I am trying to connect to the board using "minicom" app ... bitrate at 115200, 8bits, 1 stop bit..
Anyone has any idea please?
