Hello,
Anyone played with the FTDI usb to serial converter chips? I have one hooked up for serout of say pin6 of a 28x1 and after ummm 3 days fluffing have found that the first few bytes from thsi unit are actually garbage. I was trying to read the first byte of a i2c eeprom. I wrote some code to manually enter the address and that worked fine. If I tried to read the address immediatly with nothing else to the console the char that should have been an 'X' was always coming up as <<FD>>.
I should say Im doing this in Aiterm. I have put a couple of CR,LF at the begining now but now I have a <<C3>> turning up serout
Once I get past these initial bytes it's fine. Just wonder if it is picking up some noise on the picaxe reset. I suppose if I put some pull-ups on the TX/RX lines that would be a good start.
