+# Pico serial terminal
+
+A simple example to allow a Pico to act as a serial terminal into another Raspberry Pi computer.
+Useful for setting up a Pi when network setup fails for some reason.
+Should work for Windows, Linux, or Mac host machines.
+
+1. Add `enable_uart=1` to the Raspberry Pi computer `config.txt` and boot it.
+2. Connect pins `pico:{1,2,3}` to `pi:{10,8,6}`
+3. Connect to Pico using [Thonny][thonny]
+4. From Thonny, run `terminal.py` on Pico, then power up the Pi
+
+[thonny]: https://thonny.org/
+
+You should now have a serial terminal to your Raspberry Pi computer through your Pico.
+
+### Errata / Bugs
+
+* Input is only taken a whole line at a time after the EOL character.
+* Line input is ALWAYS echoed back to the terminal as a new line, even passwords
+* Control characters are dropped so no curses tools (like `raspi-config`) work
+
+For a full-fledged serial interface, look at [picoprobe][probe] referenced in Appendix A of the [Pico Getting Started Guide][get-start].
