<br>
</div>How are you trying to ‘send’?<br>
<br>
Put a ? in the text box on the serial monitor, wait until the monent you see the ‘>’ appear (NOT the following CR!) and press the send button. You only have a failry short time, may 100ms to 500ms, depending on what else the unit has to do on that cycle.<br>
<br>
If you can’t get any response at all evening with lightning fast reflexes it is possible that there is a short on the RX line as we had one one other board in this batch so far.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div><br>

<br>
</div>You should. Again it is possible that there is a board fault around the serial connector area. We can follow this up if other things don’t work.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div>Still can't get this to happen, with either board.</div>
