Attach wires to appropriate pins on your USB->TTL deviceĥ.) Connect to the USB->TTL device on your computer using a program like Minicom or Putty. These are the pins you will be sodering to.ģ.) Solder 4 wires to your board. A better explanation is available at Ģ.) After opening your box you will need to remove the led bar and look at the top front of the board. If you have a 'virgin' box then you are ready to proceed.ġ.) Open your box, there are 4 screws (1 under each of the soft legs on the bottom of the box), the rest of the box un-clips very easily. In order to complete the root you will need an un-updated box, it seems as if the first or second update to the box closed the serial access hole.
