FTDI TTL-232R-RPI DEBUG Cable, Raspberry PI Module

you say you don't have the room for an hdmi monitor keyboard and mouse to connect to your raspberry pi maybe you don't have the equipment don't worry about it just use the built-in serial port in our lesson on asynchronous serial communication we talked about how the protocol is a really quick and easy way to connect two devices point to point the raspberry pi is a perfect candidate for this the reason well let's look at the raspberry pi first of all you've got all sorts of ways of connecting to it you could connect a full-blown hdmi monitor a keyboard and mouse all sorts of devices and have it act like a real computer but maybe that's not your use for the raspberry pi maybe you're trying to set it up as an embedded system great we have ssh we can connect to it through a network well that works except maybe you're doing some things that you don't want to have running on your network or
