Printf prints only the first character

I've been doing things slowly, one at a time, but I haven't documented every step because I've been kinda busy...

Aah...good point. I'll check that exhaustively today. They appear to read/write and retain their value fine, though, suggesting that they are indeed EEPROM.

Maybe the serial buffers are overflowing, are you checking the return values of printf?

I didn't even know printf returned anything...
What is the expected return value? I would assume 0, and nonzero is failure...but I never thought about it at all.

Thanks so much for continuing to check this thread. I've had another printf bug thread die quickly with not many replies...
