colorpal 28380
New member, without a clue.
Trying to learn how to wire a 28380 to an Arduino Leonardo. Would love a bit of TLC and tutoring.

Be aware, though, that anything you send to the ColorPAL under this arrangement will be echoed back to the Arduino and should be discarded. Also, be sure to use a serial I/O library that supports 7200 baud, as that is the sweet spot for the ColorPAL.
BTW, the ColorPAL's supply votage is spec'd at 5V. 3.3V is too low to illuminate the LEDs effectively.

Either way, just take that as a word of warning.
I seem to have some faint recollection from an unrelated project many years ago that the serial in buffer would fill up and halt further communication. When I started flushing the buffer everything worked after that. Just a thought.
