Does it affects kindle's battery in any way? Thanks for any help! |
Convenience
They are the same signals, just the physical layout matches two common pinouts.
What guide?
You only need Tx, Rx, Gnd and the reference input - **AFTER** you make the modification to board described at the linked-to page.
Read (and follow) the "Using a different VIO" section of the page.
(You do not mention what model Kindle, so I am assuming you mean one of the touch-screen models - which are 1.8v I/O).
The USB cable.
No.
