Connect the Raspberry Pi to a terminal

- UART, Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter is available on the Raspberry Pi GPIO, on board pins eight and ten. A look at a GPIO pinout diagram shows these pins labeled as TXD and RXD. This all seems to indicate a serial data connection is available from these pins, and that's true. Well, sort of. In this project, I'll show you how to connect the Raspberry Pi UART pins to another computer. So let's take a quick look at the Raspberry Pi GPIO UART serial pins.
