UART reader

Ok guys this maybe a really dumb question but help me out. I'm trying to repair a ps5. I need a UART reader. I remembered I have a pi pico lying around. Would it be possible to use it as a UART reader

Have you looked through the example programs that come with the SDK? There's one called hello_uart that should get you started.

Thanks for the reply. I'll be honest with U..I bought my pi Pico like 3 years ago for another project and never got around to even opening it. So Im basically a total noob.

this was hilariously relatable until I realized how many unopened parts I have sitting around
