Octoprint serial connection via GPIO pins, how?

General

Hi,
I'm trying to connect Octoprint running on RPI3 via GPIO pins to Prusa MK3 (Einsy Rambo 1.1b), not via USB cable.

I have enabled RPI port via Prusa menues, which should enable TX and RX pins.

On RPI3 I have run raspi-config and enabled hardware serial port but disabled linux console via serial.

I have connected TX, RX and GND pins, but I still can't connect them via Octoprint web UI.

I now have /dev/ttyserial0 and serial1:
serial0 -> ttyS0
serial1 -> ttyAMA0

So should I use ttyS0 or ttyAMA0 ?

Any other suggestions?

I tried reversing TX/RX pins but still serial is not connecting.

One side receives what the other side transmits so yes, Tx/Rx need to be crossed
Did you connect GND to GND?
Does the kernel see the connection? (dmesg)

ttyS0 is the GPIO serial port. You'll also need to enable it via raspi-config. Do not enable console over serial.
