Help me out! PropellerIDE terminal printing strange characters!

hans90 · 2017-02-15 19:34

Hi all, I am a new comer to Spin programming language and I have a question!

Recently, I tried Jon Williams UART object code from Nuts&Volts 2016 May, which is supposed to send information to my iMAC terminal program, to my surprise when I ran the program on PropellerIDE on my Prop Activity Board WX, I found the terminal showing strange characters instead of printing 00-FF! Does anyone know what is going? I have attached the program itself and a picture. Please Help me out!

You've set the baud rate to 460,800 bits per second in the statement: "debug.start(460_800)" But, the baud of the terminal is set to 115200! Correct the baud rate in your code by editing to: "debug.start(115_200) and try again.

115,200 is quite fast enough for the needs of your program :-)

I have tried to set the baud rate to 460800bps, but it showed the same thing.

My explanation was to change the program code to "debug.start(115_200)" and use 115,200 bps as your baud rate, not 460800bps.

After I adjusted to run at slower baud rate 115,200 it worked, how amazing!!! Godlike!!! THX
