Re: Serial Console giving scrambled output like "IKL\0xe9\0xd4!/%\0xa39!%" - SOLVED

I build the complete kit from Elektor. Are there any updates in the firmware since then? Can a newer software version be flashed to the microcontroller?

I have also an old WinXP PC in my workshop on which I can test this tomorrow, but I don't think it will work either. In the mean time I checked the ceramic resonator b...
