I'm trying to print messages to the serial monitor, and all I get is some unreadable format.
Looping Serial.println("Wait...!"); gives me the following results:
ö’ö’ƒÕ•¬ƒ´¼Õƒö“ƒ²ƒƒƒ¬‘¼¬Õ”’“ƒ¬•
Why is it unreadable, and how do I make it print a readable format?
This "weird" result usualy happens when you select then wrong baud rate or a different one then the one you beginned the serial communication with in the program. Thus by using Serial.begin(9600);, you have to make sure that the serial monitor is actually set to a baud rate of 9600.
Serial.begin(...)). Then show the settings of your serial monitor. I think just doing that should give you the solution. – jfpoilpret Oct 27 '16 at 18:52
