I am attempting to follow the BLE UART tutorial and everything seems to be going well until I fire up termite and try it out. My phone successfully recognized and connected to the device using NRF Toolbox. In Termite, I enable RTS/CTS control as specified. I click the RTS led in termite to enable it and I get no Start message. I try sending a message from termite and I get a bunch of garbled characters and nothing on my NRF Toolbox UART app. I try sending some text from my phone and I get some garbled letters in termite. After this I try sending '1' over and over from termite to see if I at least get consistent output and it doesn't seem that way. See the included image for exact output and Termite settings.
It should be noted that I tried the blinky project before this one and it appeared to work as expected. This was my first attempt at using BLE services and the Softdevice 130.
I am using Win10 with a Chinese NRF51822 Rev 3 board and its companion board.
I just went to the ble_app_uart folder in the NRF5 SDK 11 and did: make clean make make flash_softdevice make flash
Any help with this would be appreciated. Before you ask I would have tried directly connecting to the pins on the core board, but they have 2mm pin pitch and it make it difficult to connect jumper wires.
