Maciej 07.10.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
The module does what it is supposed to do. Thanks to the module, I can see the messages of the starting system (whether it's Arduino uno q or Ventuno q - I checked on both boards) from the moment the power is turned on. A very helpful thing when playing with compiling your own bootloader, without which the whole project makes no sense. It has not happened that the module crashes or interrupts communication. If someone plays with kernel compilations on these boards, this module is a must.
