Re: Does reading from the serial port work?

Have you tried a while loop instead of and if just too make sure it is not a timing problem.

I've done a custom echo terminal and usually I start with a while() loop that constantly reads the serial port and then writes back when the input is none null. If the while loop works, you might want to consider putting timestamps to see if there is a latency wait before checking the ReadSerialPort
