I would like to use RPzeroW as a companion computer. As far as I understood, the RPzero has only one UART connection and I need it to talk with the autopilot. Despite the RPzeroW has a wifi module integrated, I want to use the D1 MINI PRO because it has a plug to connect an external antenna. By positioning the antenna far from the main electronics, I hope to get a better range.
As far as I understood, D1 MINI PRO can be connected via UART but I have no UART left! But the D1 MINI PRO has also a USB connection …
Can I use a USB connection between D1 MINI PRO and RPzero?
Thanks Coby for your help! What do you mean exactly with this?
Both D1 and RPzero have usb micro. My idea is to buy such male connectors ( Link ) on both sides. I will use silicon wires in between. What do you think?
