I just learned that you can use an #arduino as a ttl-to-USB just by taking out the atmega chip. How have I never heard of this?!
I really need to get back in to #HardwareHacking.
@b4ux1t3 you mean, a standard UART to USB adapter? Why do you need to vandalize an Arduino for that?
@bonkers Mostly because I have very little need to do this at all, so my previous solution of "Just use a pi's GPIO" was never replaced by "Just buy a cable". Now I don't need to break out a pi every time (you know, once in a blue moon) that I need UART.
@b4ux1t3 come on, it costs about a dollar
