## Alternative (Better) Pins
## Alternative Pins

I chose to use the UART connector because it's location was convenient and it came with a pre-crimped connector that was already in the correct pin order for my transceiver.

However, it has been pointed out that these transceivers are technically labeled for 3.3V, not 5V. That has not been an issue for me, and mine works perfectly fine at 5V.

If you are concerned with this, have a more sensitive transceiver, or just want to do everything "right" then the SWD header may be a more appropriate fit.
If you are concerned with this, have a more sensitive transceiver, or just want to do everything "right" then the SWD header may be a more appropriate fit or at least a source for 3.3V power.
