*UART* or Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter, is one of the most common *communication protocols* out there. It allows for 2 *devices* to be connected to each other and also for them to both send and receive data at the same time. In this video, we will be going over an example of this by connecting 2 *Picos* to each other and controlling the onboard *LED* on one with commands from another, and as we will see, this is incredibly easy in a *MicroPython* environment.
