GND → GND  
5V → 5V  
RX → TX  
TX → RX

If you don’t know which wire is TX and which is RX, try connecting the two wires randomly, and if that doesn’t work, swap them.

Thank you, I have these extracts on the receiver. You can help me. I wouldn’t want to destroy it.

I don’t think these are the correct pins. Please check GPIO 1, GPIO 3 or GPIO 16, GPIO 17. You’ll need UART, not USB.

These excerpts are originally posted by Manta Foil. How do I find out the correct connection?

If this is a Mantafoil receiver, ask them.

There is no answer from them, unfortunately.
