Me and my team are trying to pull data off a microcode II made by Boeckeler instruments. It’s a micrometer that we currently have going into the Pmod RS232 Revb, and then we have that wired into an Arduino Uno R3. I’m not sure if there are any special procedures or requirements to initiate the transmission of the data to the arduino, but we are having a hard time figuring out why we cannot print the data, or even if we are receiving data from the PmodRS232 into our Arduino. We have our TXD and RXD going into digital pins 3 and 2 on our arduino and VCC and GND going into a 5V and Ground, respectively.
Do we need to send some kind of signal to initiate the data transfer. We are not sure what we are missing. Any point in the right direction would be a huge help!
The code is test code to read anything off the arduino and make sure that it works.
