Mislabled pcb for USB/serial RGB backpack?

Post by gmglickman »

USB + Serial Backpack kit (PID 782): Rx pin at connector CN3 on the schematic https://learn.adafruit.com/system/asset ... 1396813921
is labelled Tx on my board. As if Rx/Tx doesn't confuse me enough...

I believe you are correct. That should be "RX". I've notified the product team.

Its not mislabeled, we put that there since thats what the TX of your microcontroller connects to - just follow our tutorial! :)

I understand, but the corresponding pin at the 1x10 header is labeled Rx as is the schematic. Might be confusing to some. Thanks for the quick reply.
