# Pin 32 : TX (connect to RX on adapter)
# Pin 33 : RX (connect to TX on adapter)

* This will **NOT** require soldering to use but assumes you have room to slip the fan all the way down on the main header
* Cooling is being *tested* presently. Our original fan choice turned out to be more problematic than it's worth.
* USB to Serial adapter
* There are a lot of options, choose one you know that will work well
* Adafruit and SparkFun are good choices for serial to usb adapters
