    Hello Nomad,

    there a lot of other possabilities to test the board.

    Using a simple program that just sends "Hello World" over the serial connection on PIN 31,30

    Using a wire and connect an IO-Pin to a LED on the PPDB and make the LED blink

    to mention the obvious:
    - did you load the program to the EEPROM ?
    PropTerminal causes a reset of you open the com-port of PropTerminal

    - did you click on options - Com enabled ?
    the checksign has to in front of Com enabled not in front of Pause

    best regards

    Stefan
