I want to connect an Arduino or similar MCU board to an Ender 3 mainboard and make them communicate. I don't want to use USB. Are there any pins on the controller boards to achieve this?

I found in the Marlin G-code reference the M118 (serial print) command, this is ideal for my need, but I don't know to catch its serial messages on the mainboard.

You can solder cables to the RX, TX and GND pins on the mainboard.

There are tutorials on Youtube that describe this.
