Hi - Finally got some time to spend with my nerdkit and having some trouble with the tempsensor example. I'd like to troubleshoot it myself first but I need to know what baud rate it writes back to the serial port with. I'm using a mac and have used screen in the past to access a given port - I've tried some of the usual ones (115.2k, 9600, etc) but only get random characters.

Thanks!

It's 115200 baud, 8N1.

When I tried this, I was also getting gibberish at first... it turned out that I had copied the code incorrectly. Instead of printf_P(PSTR("...")), I just had printf_P("..."). So you may want to check that, just in case you did the same thing.

Ok - getting a little frustrated here...

No matter what I try to print to the LCD (or serial port) using fprintf_P (printf_P) it won't print to either. Considering that I get the last_sample from the adc_read() function (it prints to the LCD fine) I'm not sure what's wrong exactly. This is true even if I use the tempsensor files unchanged (save for editing the Makefile for the right serial port.) I'm sure I'm doing something stupid here but I'm not sure what.

Thanks!

Hi mdmetzger,

Did you remember to run "avr-gcc-select 4" from the command line? Other Mac customers mentioned having the problem you describe when they accidentally omitted that step. Please let me know if that helps.

mrobbins -

Thanks! That was it (and making sure to remove the old object code) - not sure how I missed the big bold statement on page 38...

See the bottom section of http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/servosquirter/ which explains how to do this.
