I was wondering how those of you that have the Rock Pi X onboard your robot handle powering down the robot and the Rock PI. Do you/should you log out of windows and then power down the Rock Pi and then the robot? Or do you just flip the robot's power switch off and let everything die? I know it frowned upon to just pull the plug on a computer...

My question is, how can I connect my Unit CAM M5 with a UART interface...
