UART Interface
The Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interface provides a mechanism for communicating with
other serial devices using the RS232 standard. When the module is connected to another digital device, UART_RX
and UART_TX transfer data between the two devices. The other two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be
used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators.
Figure 1 shows the parts location including UART connector J1 and antenna ANT1.
