Raspberry Pi J26 no serial connectivity (Marlin)

Open westhedge opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I have tried everything I can think of, but I cannot get this board to communicate to a Raspberry Pi over the J26 PD5/PD6 pins. I have jumpered them to the GPIO 14/15 pins on the Pi (tx to rx and rx to tx) and I have tried: #define SERIAL_PORT_3 2 #define BAUDRATE_3 115200

and #define SERIAL_PORT_3 3

Right now I have SERIAL_PORT -1 (for a USB connection) and SERIAL_PORT_2 1 (for the TFT screen)

But it is not working. What is the correct setting for this or is it just a feature that doesn't work? I can't find any useful information online about this anywhere

I discovered my issue. First: these lines are must be in Marlin: #define SERIAL_PORT_3 2 #define BAUDRATE_3 115200

Next, you must connect with /dev/TTYAMA0. I had mistakenly connected with with /dev/TTYS0. The board now works correctly!
