Using a PL2303HXD cable connection to a USB port on the computer. I bought mine form eBay for around AU$6. Make sure you get the PL2303HXD and not the PL2303HX. Note the D on the end of the model number.
rPi Enabling TTY
By default the Debian images from Raspberry Pi have this option enabled. If you are using other images like DietPi then you will need to enable this feature within the operating system.
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lurch/rpi-serial-console/master/rpi-serial-console -O /usr/bin/rpi-serial-console sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-serial-console
Enabling/Disabling
rpi-serial-console <status|enable|disable>
Configuring Speed
sudo rpi-serial-console enable 57600
Physical Connection
This connection is based on the A+ and B+ as the header size is different to the A and B version of the rPi.
Software Connection Settings
| Default Settings | |

Windows Driver
Install the driver in Windows so the operating system know about the USB TTL device.
Download the 1.12.0 (2015-10-7) PL2303 Windows driver.
