Well, after countless hours reflowing solder and pulling my hair out, I did some more googling and found the real reason why my usb to ttl has garbage or garbled or weird characters...

Thanks for that. Normally, it's a connection issue. I always check and upgrade to the latest PuTTY. Minicom (Linux) luckily doesn't have this issue, but it is defaulted to a VT100 emulator, if I am not mistaken. Just have to update my PuTTY configs on my laptop and the workbench machine. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
