I re-soldered again

Same issue same situation
I did make a mistake when i said i connected TX and RX to themselves i meant i followed the picture in the guide so it was correct, plus honestly with all the attempts it was reveres as well so if that was the problem it would have worked.
the voltage start at 1.7 and raises to 2.1 and 3.1 on RX and TX so no idea if that's the problem.
I tried in both Windows and Linux the only other update is that i had to add the driver in linux to make the adapter working so now i have this:

[ 0.625977] 00:05: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
[ 4.722992] usb 5-1.1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0

Not sure if ttyS0 means that only RX or TX is working while the other isn't, and maybe it is related to the 3.1 voltage since 2.1 is kinda close to 1.8 but 3 is too much.

I did order the other adapter the 1.8 tty cable and the resistor, so i guess we'll wait and see..
