How do you connect a Zigbee device for hardware flow control? Does the CTS of the Zigbee connect to the CTS of the Gadgeteer Device?
For sender and receiver these signals need to be crossed.

To double check you could try to find out if it’s an iput or output on each side.

@ Rein, How would you know if it’s an input or output port?

In fact its the biggest problem in serial commination ever: “to cross, or not to cross, that is the question”
Ok, then how do I know if handshake is working?
