Setting by serial communication is available for obniz except obniz Board series.
Connection
Serial communication is connected as follows.
| Key | Value |
|---|---|
| Connection | TX(GPIO1 of ESP32 is output of ESP32), RX(GPIO3 is input of ESP32), GND |
| Baud rate | 115200bps |
| Flow control | None |
| Parity | None |
Note: Some ESP32 devices may contain an automatic write circuit using DTR and RTS. In this case, you may not be able to communicate with the device even if it is connected, so try turning DTR and RTS on and off. (In most cases, normal communication is possible with both turned off.)

The console normally only outputs the internal status and does not accept settings.
It can be switched to setting mode by sending a command.
