Re: [Flashforth-devel] 70 MIPS on a dspic33ep512mc806?

Unfortunately , I have no experience with dsPIC, but know something 
about gibberish responses. 8-P
If you have a scope, check system clock first as it might not be what 
you expect.
Getting 140 MHz from 20 MHz with all the pre and postscaler options 
looks like a slippery slope.
Then check the "gibberish response" with a scope. Different UART chips 
react differently to out of sync characters.
Third, check parity, handshake etc.
