Connecting ESP32C6 to AIR780E via serial fails to communicate

And one other question. Just logically thinking, if I shortcut rx and tx pins on the esp32 board, would that just send any sent messages back to the device? Never tried something like this, but theoretically it should work? Are there any drawbacks like burning the device down or making the pins unusable? The goal is to test the code I’m using and the hardware are actually sending the data out and are capable of reading from it so it’s out of the equation and it’s the air780 which doesn’t respond as it should. Any suggestion before I burn it down? :slight_smile:
