I have a Arduino Uno which is looping over Serial.println("$testmessage"). Connected to this is a USB cable that i have cut and soldered male jumper leads to . I need to receive this message ("$testmessage") from the Uno using this USB cable without using the leosticks usb connector. After receiving the correct messgae from the Uno i plan to use Serial to send data from the leostick to my pc.
I'm stuck trying to figure out how to receive this message from the Uno.
Currently the the USB 5v and ground is connected to the leosticks 5V, GND pins. The Uno powers on and the the tx led is flashing every 100 milliseconds.
Can i just plug the green and white wires from the USB cable into D0&D1 and except it to work?
