I do this through USB, but I am also interested in connecting it directly to the GPIO header of the pi.
Tried this once by assigning the /dev/ttyAMA0 serialport of openplotter and assigning it to pypilot, but whenever I did this it didn't give me the SYNC status in Pypilot. If some light would be shed on this subject, it would mean one less USB cable for me. The connection would be to connect the RX/TX from Arduino to the Pi with the correct Baudrate of (38400?). One thing to take into account, not sure if this is correct, is to take into consideration the opto isolation. It is recommended to "isolate" the connection between the Arduino and the Pi. Maybe Sean can say something about this.
