I'm 50% complete with my MS1 v3, just did the serial communications test part, and the result was... strange???

i dont know, i plugged the MS with my pc, adjusted the buffer size and other options, jumped 12 & 13 in my 40-pin prossecer using a wire(i also tried with lead), and with the same result...

it echos strange symbols instead of real charecters i type.

is this normal?

 

Nope, not normal.

 

I just tried changin my font in Hyperterminal, and i let someone else jumper it for me using a wire, and it turns out to be okay, i even wrote down my name.

must be confusion with another pin that made the proccessor go crazy
