ESP32 GND -> Pico GND
Do not use the ESP32 6-pin UART header for the dashboard UART. It appears to be connected to RXD/TXD for UART0/programming/debug.
## Dashboard Wiring (Current Direction)
Dashboard Hardware:
- Waveshare 5" ESP32-S3 Display
Communications:
- WiFi connection to cargo ESP32 AP
- HTTP API polling
- No UART required for normal operation
CAT5e Usage:
- 12V power from cargo area to dashboard
- Local buck converter in dashboard enclosure
- Common ground
Optional Future:
- UART over CAT5e for diagnostics or alternate dashboard hardware
