Getting stuck - outputting RPM values to Arduino LCD

[FlyinMechie]

Hi

First just want to say hello, I am new to the hardware side and tinkering with FS

I am trying to get RPM data to output to an Arduino LCD screen. I have tried a couple of approaches using variations of serial read, but the LCD will only return odd characters such as pi or chinese symbols.

I have tested it with simple strings sent from the serial monitor, this works fine. For example I can type in "<01234" and its ok. With the program though, the strange charcters show up.

I am using P3D 2.5 also.

Any suggestions on how I can get the RPM to show up?

Make sure your baud rates match.
