APM debugging help?

Posted by Anthony Bee on January 3, 2011 at 7:02pm

So I got my shiney new APM today and went to work on soldering everything, gotta say best solder job yet.

I uploaded the code no problem, but now I have to debug the board...

I am trying to use the serial port to debug it like in the manual, however, instead of lines of text, I get crazy symbols? (demo) 

 

Also when I upload the main code, I do not get any thing in the serial monitor except a few symbols?

    Yea , like Micheal said. When you have the incorrect baud rate you get the crazy symbols. Those are extended ASCII symbols beyond the original 7 bit teletype code. Basicaly the data is all messed up because the timing's not right. Garbage data, but it looks cool :) It won't be the last time you will see it, unless you give upon  micro controllers.
