mini pinout

rx and tx need to be reversed.
but that you allready tested.

hmm

//edit: you should try connect via the 12v serial (not with your ftdi chip! -use a max232 between or use your computers rs232)
maybe they chaned something, idk - on pin 1 and 2 ofc

Getting an actual RS232 port on any of my modern computers sounds like quite a trick. Or am I missing something?

did you buy it used? maybe you have to reflash it over the rs232 port (dont use your ftdi cable ob that! - needs a max232 in between or a normal computer rs232 port)

Nope, bought it new from SparkFun. And I actually bought two and they are both the same. I'll try to take a picture of my breadboard & post it so people can try to see what stupid mistake I made (I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious).

Hi Alex,

Are you opening port COM1 on the Netduino Mini?

Chris

My FTDI is showing up as COM3 on my PC. I get nothing from the mini so I haven't gotten the prompt to select one or the other from the mini itself?

Tried with putty, still no luck. Tried switching rx/tx pins multiple times. Only time I see anything is when I hook them up together (or to the xbee).

Yep, the FTDI ground is connected to my ground bus (which is connected to pin 23).
