UART connection is another way for the Raspberry Pi and FCU to communicate.
1. Connect Raspberry Pi to your FCU using a UART cable.
2. [Connect to the Raspberry Pi over SSH](ssh.md).
3. Change the connection type in `~/catkin_ws/src/clover/clover/launch/clover.launch` to UART:
1. Connect the TELEM 2 port on the flight controller using a UART cable to the Raspberry Pi pins following this instruction: the black cable (*GND*) to Ground, the green cable (*UART_RX*) to *GPIO14*, the yellow cable (*UART_TX*) to *GPIO15*. Do not connect the red cable (*5V*).
2. Set the PX4 parameters: `MAV_1_CONFIG` to TELEM 2, `SER_TEL2_BAUND` to 921600 8N1. In PX4 of version prior to v1.10.0 the parameter `SYS_COMPANION` should be set to 921600.

## SITL connection
In order to connect to a local or a remote [SITL](sitl.md) instance set the `fcu_conn` parameter to `udp` and `fcu_ip` to the IP address of the SITL instance (`127.0.0.1` if you are running the instance locally):
```xml
<arg name="fcu_conn" default="udp"/>
<arg name="fcu_ip" default="127.0.0.1"/>
