Backup Autopilot
#4
The motor controller communicates to tinypilot via a uart. This is 4 wires. It's possible to use usb, but I don't recommend it for reliability, latency and isolation reasons.. but it does work as well.

A cable length of up to 15-20 meters is normally just fine, although interference is technically possible in that case you can use shielded cable and twisted pairs for each wire grounding one pair, it's unlikely you would need to.
