Corrupt CTX35 output with ctx-perl

[bbartels]

I started to create some perl scripts to control my Xanura modules, but I keep getting crappy output from my CTX35. I use xpl-perl (xpl-ctx35). Below an example of the output:

./xpl-ctx35 /dev/ttyS0 -v -B 19200

Any ideas how to solve this?

Do you have the bitrate settings correct ?

I both tried 9600 and 19200, same result

[bbartels]

On 19200 I see both RX and TX LEDs blinking and I see a (crappy) response in my terminal window. If I switch to 9600 I only see the RX LED blinking and don't get a response at all

[Lempens]

And when you use HyperTerminal ? What response do you get then ?

[bbartels]

./xpl-ctx35 /dev/ttyS0 -v -B 19200

No HyperTerm on Linux....

Use minicom instead.

Tried that ofcourse, no output at all. Also tried the test software from xanura to test the CTX35 and it responses on a Windows host. With the test software all works as it should be, so the CTX35 is ok.
