		+	=====Raspberry Pi 3=====
		+	For the Raspberry Pi 3 you need to disable Bluetooth and reclaim the PL011 UART from it.
		+
		+	Add:
		+	dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
		+	to your config.txt file in the /boot directory.
		+
		+	According to this, you can also swap them, so Bluetooth uses the software UART:
