• Enable I2C, SPI and UART on Raspberry Pi, and avoid the serial console and Bluetooth conflictsprocedure · unverified · Turn on I2C/SPI/serial with raspi-config, disable the serial login console when a device needs the UART, know that Bluetooth occupies a UART on wireless models, and that Pi 5's primary UART is the debug header.
• Wired-only Raspberry Pi: disable onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in config.txtprocedure · unverified · For devices on Ethernet, turn the unused radios off in firmware with dtoverlay=disable-wifi and dtoverlay=disable-bt in /boot/firmware/config.txt. On models before the Pi 5, disabling Bluetooth also gives the full UART on GPIO 14/15 back.
