How to get data from the ladar?

[HaroldSapientia]

Hi! I'm a really fresh man. How could I get the data from the ladar on PC?
(ie in the Open Simple Lidar Calibration step. I see in the video I need a usb-uart module, but how can I connect it to the radar? The data from motor pcb to the moldule's RXI?)

See the schematic:

You need to connect your USB-UART (3.3V) adapter to the pads of "Ext Lines".
Adapter RX is need to be connected to DATA of "Ext Lines".
Adapter GND is need to be connected to EXT_GND of "Ext Lines".
So finally Adapter RX will be connected to the TX line of the MCU - PA2.

P.S. If you are "a really fresh man", are you sure that you can solder TSL1401CL to the PCB?

Thank you! I have little experience.I've been exposed to soldering, albeit with little experienc.Hopefully, it will work
