hard🚀 Application Q9 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand voltage differences
Raspberry Pi uses 3.3V logic, Arduino uses 5V logic which can damage Pi.Step 2: Use voltage level shifter
A level shifter safely converts 5V signals to 3.3V and vice versa.Final Answer:
Use a voltage level shifter between Raspberry Pi TX and Arduino RX -> Option CQuick Check:
Safe UART connection = level shifter [OK]
Quick Trick: Always use level shifter to protect Raspberry Pi UART pins [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Directly connecting 5V to 3.3V pins
- Crossing RX to RX
- Using wrong power supply voltage
