USB serial port with gimbal

Cube Autopilot
1

All of my serial ports are in use so I’d like to utilise the USB port for a serial connection to a Storm32 gimbal controller. My plan is to use a USB to TTL converter and access the port.

In short I’m considering

Cube USB -> USB TTL -> RX and TX to TX and RX on the BGC32.

Any idea if this will work like a standard serial port?

Thanks in advance,

David Malcolm.

Do not use the USB port during flight. Change stuff over to Can and open up some ports

Thanks for the reply. I’ve posted a question about using CAN bus with TTL serial in a different thread.

On a different note could you elaborate as to why the USB port can’t be used in flight? Is it a power restriction?
