[Feature] Connectivity via Serial instead of BLE/WiFi

[Codgedodger]

Feature request to allow direct connection to a node via usb serial attachment.

Current setup is a raspberry pi zero 2 with a cellular modem connection for remote over the air configuration changes and firmware updates. I’d love to use Meshsense but can’t reliably use BLE. I have direct connection to the radio via serial to do typical Meshtastic cli commands.

Seconded. BLE is unreliable for remote/unattended nodes, and it'd be far easier to rely on the host computer (like a Raspberry Pi) to handle power, config, and monitoring all over a single cable.

Thirded. Would make Meshsense useable with the hacker gadgets expansion board for uconsole.

This feature would be nice!

Contact uses serial and it works so nicely

Would be nice, be able to get a pi in the air with it, flash, config, meshsense. All done remotely.

Is a duplicate of #13 - but I really hope support is coming :). That would be amazing.
