WiFi Shield: buildtest outputs strange characters

Post by njonas »

I've soldered Adafruit's WiFi shield onto an Arduino Uno and I'm getting really strange output to the serial monitor when I upload the script. The only thing I updated in the script was my WiFi network name & password (although it was happening before I changed that as well).

I have no idea how to debug this, any ideas?

Buildtest initializes Serial communication at 115200 baud.

Code: Select all

  Serial.begin(115200);
You serial monitor is set for 9600 (lower right corner of the window).
If you set to 115200 you should be OK.
