	~~'''1.'''

Get your USB-TTL adapter to work by installing all Windows drivers as requested by the vendor (usually it should be auto-installed by Win, and you should not have to bother with this step).

	~~'''3.''' The USB~~-~~TTL adapter has~~ to ~~be connected to UART1, which is {{WARNING~~\|~~'''not'''}} the port labelled UART on the board, the correct pins are found on the port labelled RC! Namely:~~		:[[File:Usb-to-uart-driver.png\|480px]]
