RTC test failed on data logger shield

Post by surfcrawl »

I tried to set up the RTC using the 'RTC test" code provided here: http://www.ladyada.net/make/logshield/rtc.html
The serial monitor only produces mixed charactersImage
I've downloaded the newest libraries as instructed here: http://www.ladyada.net/make/logshield/download.html
I've seen that most errors are due to poor soldering, so I've touched and retouched all of my joints
I'm using an Arduino UNO

Your serial monitor is probably set at the wrong baud rate for the sketch. In the sketch, the serial port is initialized at 57600 with "Serial.begin(57600);". The default speed for the serial monitor is 9600. Change the serial monitor speed to match.
