Connecting to APM2 using serial port instead of USB

Posted by Tommy Larsen on June 30, 2012 at 7:51am

Hi

I have read many articles regarding using the UART0/2 or UART0 to connect the GCS. I have tried "everything" to get communication on these ports with no luck.

Right now i'm connecting a serial cable directly from my computer to the APM2 board. No xbee, 3dr stuff or anything else. Does the UART0(/2) port support direct communication at all?

Is it 3.3 volt or 5 volts, or maybe it supports both ?

is there any code change or soldering required ?

Could someone please explain what to do and what is required to finally communicate on this port ?
