Putty Displaying this weird character ▒▒0▒▒▒▒▒▒3^▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒d▒▒▒▒▒ . How to solve it ??

[ox00]

I already follow the link for terminal in this link  https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fsdk_nrf5_v16.0.0%2Flib_cli.html&cp=6_1_3_10_3&anchor=lib_cli_terminal_settings .

From android apps sent message to mcu the message is not display in putty. While when sending from mcu  to android apps it display this weird character.

Does it work at all? I'd check that your Speed is set right (and data and stop bits).

everthing is right. Dont know what is wrong.Maybe I will uninstall putty and reinstall back.

another post recommends checking the settings in sdk_config.h also.

Does not make sense because when installing at other computer is ok. already unistall & reinstall back nothing work.

Hi, 

What is your speed of putty and the NRF_LOG_BACKEND_UART_BAUDRATE value in the sdk_config.h?

I am not confident to have a solution. If the issue only happened to the specific computer instead of others, I would suggest using others.  

What example are you using?

Do you have nRF52840DK? If so, could you run the BSP Example? Also, follow the setting:

Start a terminal emulator like PuTTY and connect to the used COM port with the following UART settings:

• Baud rate: 115.200
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• HW flow control: None

 

Do you also see the same issue while executing the example?
