Hi William, Since you have a scope, try scoping the pins in the RS-232 level translator. Off hand it sounds like something is not pluged in correctly. You do have the scope in DC coupling mode right? ;-) Tim -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "W.

Hi William, >From what I can tell, the gumstix people are good about returns and exchanges. In my experience manufactures test only what needs to be tested. It can get expensive real fast to fully test a system. Send Don an e-mail and see how he wants to handle this. Tim -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "W.

Thanks Tim, it turns out to be a bad max3232. I have a signal on pin 11 that looks like a 115200 serial (3.3volts), but nothing on pin 14, which is the output. Thus, I have a bad board. You'd think they would at least check the boards for functionality before selling them. It's the Microsoft approach (let the customer trouble-shoot). I'll get back to Gumstix to see what, if anything, they'll do about it. Thanks again for the suggestion. ----- Original Message ----- From: <tim...@co...> To: "General mailing list for gumstix users." <gum...@li...> Sent: 01/18/2007 8:15 PM Subject: Re: [Gumstix-users] gumstix > Hi William, > > Since you have a scope, try scoping the pins in the > RS-232 level translator.
